}Update a Concept
Replace a Concept’s display name, description, relations, or mappings, passing expected_version in the body. The logical name is immutable. Changing mappings changes only what a catalog search surfaces and annotates.
Checkfu support posture: alpha; hosted. Required evidence journey: skill-delivery. Deployment-specific readiness and the latest proven release are available from GET /v1/support/capabilities.
