    - string
  - `ttl` '15m' | '1h' | 'session': Override the org tokenTtl for this connection. Shorten-only: a value longer than the org setting (15m < 1h < session) is rejected.

## Response `200`

OK

- object: Headless extension connection details.
  - `agentId` string, required: Agent the connection is bound to.
  - `connectUrl` string, uri, required: Open in a Puppeteer-driven browser to connect the extension.
  - `expiresAt` string, date-time, nullable, required: Token expiry (null for session).

  - `policy` 'session' | 'pre_approved', required: Effective org auth policy. Never prompt_owner — headless connect refuses that policy.
