Promote a version to primary

Set `is_primary: true` to promote this version. The previously-primary version is demoted in the same transaction. The only valid body is `{ "is_primary": true }`; demoting without promoting another version is not supported.

Generate a presigned upload URL

Step 1 of the document upload flow. Returns a presigned S3 PUT URL and an opaque one-time `upload_id`. Upload the file bytes directly to `upload_url`, then call POST /v1/documents with that `upload_id`.
