Email routing status
Auth: Authorization: Bearer nsin_… or X-Api-Key: nsin_… — see API keys.
Everything the routing page shows: whether routing is on and its
status, the published records with their last public-check verdict,
what enabling would have to remove or merge (while unconfigured), the
last 24 hours' counts, the plan's caps against current usage, the DKIM
record and the platform's mail hosts. Requires domain.view.
