Bootstrap a Mac SSH activation
Starts the existing owner-scoped SSH attempt, returns a short-lived one-use reverse-SSH receipt, and runs the existing install/enrollment flow. The receipt must be consumed by the signed-in Mac worker; no bearer token is persisted.

}Authorizations
Your Reason API key from Settings > API. New keys use reason_; legacy ara_ keys remain accepted. Keys are capability-scoped: run, mcp:read, mcp:write, secrets:read, secrets:write, sessions:read, sessions:debug, knowledge:read, memory:read, memory:write, skills:read, skills:write, repos:read, repos:write, reviews:read, reviews:write, deployment:read, analytics:read, org:read, org:write, attachments:read, attachments:write, guardrails:read, guardrails:write, automations:read, automations:write, agent_auth:read. mcp:write manages MCP server configuration only; it does not authorize remote MCP-tool execution. sessions:debug is privileged: it expands diagnostic session events only for organization owners/admins.
Path Parameters
Organization id or slug. Resolve it with GET /v3/self.
The owned SSH connection id, not its eventual Device id.
Body
application/json
Pattern:
^SHA256:[A-Za-z0-9+/]{43}$Response
Short-lived Mac activation receipt.
