Claim a domain for the organization

POST/portal/v1/accounts/{accountSlug}/applications/{appSlug}/environments/{envSlug}/organizations/{id}/domains

Claims an email domain for the organization's end-user SSO and issues a DNS TXT challenge (an sso-domain-verification= token published under a _sso-verification subdomain; the record never names Canopy). The domain is normalized from a pasted URL or host and rejected (400) if it is malformed or a known public email provider. Idempotent: re-claiming an existing (organization, domain) returns the existing row and token. Emits an sso.domain.claimed audit row against the organization and returns 201.
