Record that a teammate reached out to this person: an email, a DM, a call. The first activity claims an unowned person for whoever reached out and moves not_contacted to contacted; an existing owner and a later stage are kept. `memberId` defaults to the signed-in member; an API key that omits it logs an unattributed activity, which claims nobody.

- `note`: What was sent or said, briefly.
- `occurredAt`: When the contact happened (ISO 8601, or epoch ms). Defaults to now.
- `memberId`: The member who reached out (user id). Defaults to the signed-in member; an API key that omits it logs an unattributed activity.
