Notes

• The logout is best-effort: if the upstream provider returns a benign error (e.g., instance not found, 401), it is silently ignored and the instance state is still updated.
• After logout, the instance state will be LOGOUT in the database.
• You can reconnect the instance later using GET /v1/numbers/{id}/connect.
