}Add or re-approve an official (idempotent upsert)
Officials are referenced by your (source, externalId) pair, not by email. Upserts the user (email/name updated only when provided; a placeholder email is synthesized if none given) and the league membership. status: only "pending" is honored — any other value (or omitting it) becomes "approved". If the referenced user is already the league’s organizer → 409 user_is_organizer.
Emits official.joined (new membership) or official.approved (existing membership).

}Authorizations
Partner API key: Authorization: Bearer whk_…. Keys are issued by the Whistle team (email tommy@huddleup-sports.com), shown once at issuance, and bound to your source namespace — they access only your leagues (plus explicit grants) and your webhook endpoints. Any auth failure returns 401 {"error":"unauthorized"}; the API never returns 403 — out-of-scope resources answer 404 exactly like nonexistent ones.
Path Parameters
Whistle league id (id from league responses).
Body
Your stable id for this official. Required.
Derived from your key — omit, or echo your key's source; any other value returns 400 source_mismatch.
Optional bridge to the official's real identity. Trimmed and lowercased.
Only "pending" is honored; everything else becomes "approved".
approved, pending Response
Official membership
