> ## Agent Instructions
> Every Lath operation is POST https://platform.trylath.com/<operation name with dots replaced by slashes>, with a JSON body and `Authorization: Bearer <key>`. `email.send` is POST /email/send.
> Branch on `error.code`, never on `error.message`. Every refusal also carries `error.fix`, which names the next step.
> Send an `Idempotency-Key` header on any operation that is not retry-safe, so a retry cannot run it twice.
> A `lath_test_` key emails only the account's own members and sends no SMS; a `lath_live_` key reaches real recipients and is billed.
> The OpenAPI document, generated from the same registry as the routes, is at https://platform.trylath.com/openapi.json.

# audience.contact.update

> Changes a contact's email, phone, language or properties. Properties are merged key by key; set a key to null to remove it, and set locale to null to go back to not knowing.
