toggle reaction

Changed on

Toggle a reaction on a target resource (Article, Comment, or User) on behalf of the authenticated user.

    ### Toggle Logic:
    - **First Request**: Creates a new reaction of the specified category on the reactable target.
    - **Second Request (with same parameters)**: Deletes the existing reaction.
    - Particularly useful for simple, interactive UI buttons like "Like", "Unicorn", or "Save" where clicking toggles the active state.
