Update a product (PATCH allowlist enforced)
Updates mutable top-level fields on a product: name, sku, description,
list_price, cost, weight, dimensions, tax_rate_id, category_id,
reorder_point, reorder_qty, metadata, and is_active. Child arrays (variants,
pricing, components) are managed via their own sub-resource endpoints. Returns 404
if the product does not belong to the entity. Requires products:write scope.
