Lookup Barcode

POST
/users/{user_id}/food-items/barcode
curl --request POST \
  --url https://example.com/users/2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0/food-items/barcode \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "barcode": "example" }'

Resolve a scanned barcode to a food item — reusing the owned DB before OpenFoodFacts.

Dedup order: (1) same barcode already scanned, (2) OFF product matching an existing (name, brand) row — the barcode is attached to it. Otherwise a new item is created with OFF’s label nutrition (source="verified" — label data beats an AI estimate).
