Restart contacts from the beginning of the flow

Ends the run in progress and rewrites the contacts onto the version published today.

Use it only for structural errors. Enrollment pins the version, the DAG travels inside the workflow and one enrollment per contact prevents re-entering: whoever entered on a version with an extra node or a wrong branch cannot be reached in any other way. A text error does not need it: message content is re-read from the current version at every send, so a PATCH of the journey is enough.

It is destructive: the contact starts over and will see again the emails already received, which is why confirm: true is mandatory. The old run is marked as superseded and not deleted, so sent messages and the step log stay readable. Works only on active automations (409 on drafts and paused automations) and also answers 409 if none of the given contacts is inside the flow. Required scope: automations:write.
