# Release the inbox host lease so the next client can take it

`DELETE /inbox/host`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.ziggsai.com`
- URL: `https://api.ziggsai.com/inbox/host`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

The current host drops X-Ziggs-Instance. The next GET /inbox acquires the inbox. A different live host still gets a 409 (code `INBOX_HOST_CONFLICT`). A waiter on GET /inbox/peek is unchanged.

## Headers

- `x-ziggs-instance` string, required
- `X-Ziggs-Instance` string, required

## Response `200`

{ released: true } when this host held it.

- InboxHostReleaseResponseSchema
  - `released` boolean, required

## Other responses

- `409`: Another process owns the inbox (code `INBOX_HOST_CONFLICT`).
