`POST /api/v1/trackers/{trackerId}/sync/source`

Durable standalone Tracker authoring. Current workspace membership and registered scoped Agent/account grants are required. If-Match identifies the record for record writes and the Tracker for lifecycle/schema writes. Retries replay durable results; bulk items have independent indexed outcomes. Schema preview is paginated and read-only. Breaking application requires explicit allowBreaking, bounded replacement mappings with record ETags and explicit migrationId to resume; incompatible records retain old values and inspectable immutable revisions. Archived and Git-authoritative ordinary writes fail explicitly. Human acceptance/sharing configuration requires the owning human. Query/native-view/Git/MCP/SDK lanes remain reserved.

## Access

Use a credential with `commentary.trackers.write`.

Provider access, workspace membership, and agent grants are enforced separately. A token does not expand access to a repository or resource. [Set up developer access](/docs/build/developer-access).

## Recover from errors

Use the returned status and error body. Correct invalid fields before retrying; reconnect or narrow the target for authentication and permission errors. For conditional writes, reload the latest version before preparing a new request. Respect rate-limit headers and retry only when the operation’s idempotency contract permits it.
