Mark a chat read

POST/v1/chats/{chat}/read

Marks the latest unread inbound message as read, optionally showing the typing indicator. The upstream command targets that one message; this API does not promise that the channel also marks earlier inbound messages. Omit the body, or send {}, for read-only; the two forms are identical. typing: false is identical too.

If the chat is not available to this account, the request is refused with 404 chat_not_found. If it has no unread inbound message, it is refused with 409 nothing_unread; this route does not act as a standalone typing refresh.

202 means the command and its chat.read journal event are durable; the upstream action is asynchronous. Read receipts and typing are outbound-only: this API never reports customer typing.

Also show the customer the typing indicator, which auto-dismisses after a short time or when your next message arrives. Read receipts and typing are outbound-only: the API never reports customer typing.
