`POST /conversation`

*Create Conversation*

Create a new AI conversation associated with a repository. Conversations are the context containers for AI interactions, allowing users to have multi-turn conversations with AI models through the Flashback platform.

**Key Features:**

* Creates a new conversation context for AI interactions
* Associates conversation with a specific repository
* Automatically inherits workspace and organization from the repository
* Tracks conversation metadata and token usage
* System events are logged for audit purposes

**Important Notes:**

* Users must have access to the repository's workspace to create conversations
* The repository must belong to a workspace (cannot be orphaned)
* Each conversation is tied to a single repository
* Conversations are soft-deleted (marked as deleted but not physically removed)

**Security:**

* Access is validated against workspace permissions
* Only users with workspace read access can create conversations
* Conversation creation triggers system events for audit trails
