Place a member in a binary or matrix tree
Requires a persisted company admin identity and members.manage (or users.update); droplet tokens are not supported. The company must be enabled for legged trees (legged_trees_not_enabled otherwise), and the tree must be binary or matrix: unilevel trees, including the default enrollment and sponsor trees, are seated from enrollment and refuse this request with unsupported_tree_kind. Name the slot with parent_node_id and leg, or send a rule with the parent_node_id its search starts from: first_empty, left and right are supported; inside, outside and balanced fail with rule_not_confirmed, enroller_preference with preference_not_available, and weak_leg and strong_leg with volume_not_available. A request with parent_node_id and neither leg nor rule follows the tree’s default_placement_rule (unless it is exact, which still needs a leg, or defer, refused as rule_not_supported). Rule searches never place below a discarded member’s seat: first_empty skips it, and left or right stop above it (no_open_leg). The rule defer takes no parent and places the member in the tree’s holding tank, returning the held seat with held_until. The placing admin is recorded on the placement. The example uses illustrative IDs.
