Create or update by external source identifier
Requires persons:write. Uses the complete creation schema on both branches, validating it before looking up the source record. A match updates an existing public person; a private match returns 404. Updating an existing sensitive record also requires persons:sensitive:read, as PATCH does, and that permission controls response detail. body.source_id does not select the record; source_notes is stored only when creating; is_guardian_verified is ignored when updating. Unlike PATCH, this schema does not accept status, hospital, found fields, or is_public.

Response
Existing public person updated.
Minimized default person response. Child records and public contact fields are protected by default; sensitive access requires a separately approved persons:sensitive:read permission. With that permission, person responses may include the full national ID, precise details, reporter contact fields, finder phone, hospital data, sources, and community-information sender phones.
