Update template metadata

Updates container metadata only: name (≤120 chars), description (≤500 chars, or null to clear it), and currentVersion.

Endpoint

PATCH https://api.dairo.app/v1/templates/{idOrSlug}

Updates container metadata only: name (≤120 chars), description (≤500 chars, or null to clear it), and currentVersion. Version bodies are immutable, so source, subject, and variables cannot be changed here — publish a new version to change content. Setting currentVersion re-points the template at any already-published version of itself for an instant roll-forward or rollback of future default sends; the target must exist for this template or the call returns 404. A request that supplies no updatable field returns 400. Responds 200 with the updated object: "template" (no version body is included), and requires the templates:write scope.

Scope: templates:write. Send the API key as a bearer token; Scopes lists what each one reaches.
