Arguments

Returns

CollectionMember CollectionMember! — A collection member — ONE curated membership edge: a Product with a display ordinal inside a Collection. Parent = the Collection (members die with it). On a STATIC collection the members ARE the membership; on a DYNAMIC one they are the PINS (manual-pins-first — RC-o). Membership (collection x product) is unique (a live duplicate is CONFLICT/IDENTITY_TAKEN naming the holder); REMOVE = doom (TWO_STATE — history preserved); re-adding mints a NEW record via marker takeover.

• AUTHN/REQUIRED — Sign in to do this. (AUTHN)

• RATE_LIMIT/THROTTLED — Too many requests in a short time. (RATE_LIMIT)
• NOT_FOUND/* — That record could not be found. (NOT_FOUND)

Dry run

Add dryRun: true to the request envelope (extensions.at) to rehearse this call: every check runs, the write is rehearsed against the current records and nothing is stored; the answer is the refusal a real call would give, or the record it would create. Every response to a rehearsal carries dryRun: true, so a rehearsed record is never mistaken for a saved one.
