Transfer Ownership

POST 

/api/v1/device-registry/devices/:device_id/transfer-ownership

Hand a unit to a new owner. Super Admin only in V1 (§5a-iii).

Self-service is deferred rather than forgotten: "I sold it" is a way to launder a stolen unit, so the flow needs a two-sided consent handshake the data model already supports and the product does not yet have.

Three consequences worth knowing before calling it: the unit is force-unbound, its credential is rotated — so it cannot reconnect until the returned secret reaches it — and its preferences are cleared. lifecycle_status is untouched, because who holds a unit is not what makes it trusted.
