# Submit your OWN birthday or work anniversary (employee self-submission)

`POST /v1/person-facts/self`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.patricia.app` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.patricia.app/v1/person-facts/self`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

The employee self-submission collection mode: the target of a solicit_fact notify. A member submits their OWN fact (source=self, the highest-trust source): month+day for a birthday (recurring_date, NO year) or an ISO date for a work anniversary. The subject is ALWAYS the caller's own actor (resolved from the verified JWT email), so a member can never write another person's fact. Tenant-scoped; PII-safe (no raw value logged; audit stores a hash); honors the fact's allowed_sources allowlist when set.

## Headers

- `X-Tenant-Id` string, nullable

## Request body

- SubmitOwnFactRequest: Submit the CALLER's own fact (employee self-submission). NO ``entity_id``: the subject is always the caller's own actor (resolved server-side from the verified JWT email), so a member can never target another person.
  - `domain_key` string, required: The canonical fact key, e.g. person.birthday / person.work_anniversary.
  - `month` integer, nullable: Birthday month (1–12); no year is collected.
  - `day` integer, nullable: Birthday day (1–31).
  - `on` string, date, nullable: Work-anniversary date (ISO). Only month/day recur.
  - `effective_tz` string, nullable: IANA tz for this subject (optional).

## Response `200`
