POST/api/v1/api-keys/{keyId}/rotate

Rotate an API key (new key issued, old expires after grace window)

Mints a new API key value for the given keyId. The new rawKey is returned ONLY in this response and cannot be retrieved again. The previous key continues to work for a configurable grace period so clients can roll without an outage.
