💬 Additional Context

No files, tests, or route entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating existing user or CRUD endpoint patterns, then compare their validation, middleware, error responses, and tests with the supplied request shape. Done means the POST endpoint, required access rules, validation, consistent errors, and happy-path and failure tests are covered.
