Add a redirect domain or private-beta proxy domain

POST
/api/v1/domains
curl --request POST \
  --url https://app.routeseam.com/api/v1/domains \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'X-Api-Key: <X-Api-Key>' \
  --data '{ "hostname": "old.com", "destination": "https://new.com", "status_code": 308, "preserve_path": true }'

Redirect mode requires destination. Proxy mode requires an allowlisted organization and origin, and defaults include_www to false. Register www separately. Proxy activation requires the returned unique TXT ownership proof and A record; mode cannot be changed after creation.
