- **Operation ID:** `requestAccountDeletion`
- **Tags:** Account
- **Base URL:** `http://localhost:8787`

Step one of two. Generates a single-use confirmation token valid for 15 minutes. The token is delivered out of band and is not part of this response; confirm with `POST /v1/me/delete/confirm`.

**Authentication:** Platform user Bearer JWT. Acts only on the caller's own data.
