Delete item
Deletes the item. System items cannot be deleted. A caller without the delete permission on items is refused with 403 `common.rbac_no_rec_access`. THE DELETE IS PERMANENT. models.Item embeds models.BaseModel, which carries no gorm.DeletedAt, so this issues a real DELETE FROM misc.items — the row is gone, not deactivated, and setting active=false is a different operation with a different outcome. A system item is refused with 400 items_m.system_item_cannot_be_deleted, but that protection is not durable: PUT /v1/items/{id} accepts "system": false, so a caller with update rights can clear the flag and then delete the item.

}Updates the fields present in the body; absent fields are left alone. A caller without the update permission on items is refused with 403 `common.rbac_no_rec_access`. system is writable here. Sending "system": false on an item that had it set clears the delete protection described on DELETE /v1/items/{id}; the field is only skipped when the key is absent from the body.
Attaches an item to a record of another type. The permission checked is READ on record_type/record_id — the record the item is being attached to, not the item. A caller without READ on that record is refused with 403 `common.rbac_no_rec_access`. Accept-Language is not read on this route: only GetItem and ListItems pull constants.AcceptLanguage from the request, and this 201 body carries no localised fields.
