Rotate the merchant signer via setFactory

POST/settings/signer/rotation

Verifies the outgoing-signer signatures, re-screens the stored settlement address, deploys the replacement PaymentFactory (same fee and registry, new signer) on every supported EVM chain, submits setFactory on each SubscriptionManager clone, and updates the stored merchant signer and factory address.

Responses

Status	Description
200	The per-chain rotation results.
400	Validation error
401	A rotation signature does not recover to the signer.
403	API key lacks the required scope
422	Expired signature, unchanged signer, nothing to rotate, payments in flight, a concurrent rotation conflict, or a SubscriptionManager address that returned no data: no contract, a different contract, or a node that has not seen it yet (`manager_unreachable`). A settlement address that compliance screening rejects returns `type: cannot_process` with `code: flagged` before any deployment.
502	Replacement factory deployment failed before any relay (`deploy_failed`, `data.failed_chains`), or a `setFactory` relay failed after zero or more chains rotated (`rotation_partial_failure`). For partial failures `data.rotations` lists the chains that did rotate with their tx hashes, `data.failed_chain` names the failing chain, and `data.failed_tx_hash` carries the failed tx when one landed. Recover by re-fetching `GET /settings/signer/rotation` — rotated chains come back `already_rotated` — re-signing only the `pending` entries, and re-POSTing.
503	Settlement address screening is temporarily unavailable. Nothing was deployed or relayed; retry later with the same signatures while their deadlines hold.
