Response

Restored contact

A polymorphic contact attached to a parent (account or vendor) via parent_type + parent_id. Only one contact per parent may be is_primary=true; setContactPrimary atomically demotes the previous primary. Soft-delete sets deleted_at; restore clears it. Scope: contacts:read / contacts:write / contacts:delete. Rule 23 SSOT: is_primary is flipped only by canonical setContactPrimary; full_name is derived from first_name + last_name on every write.
