Add or remove a reaction
/chats/{chatId}/messages/{messageId}/reactionsAdd or remove a reaction to a message. Supports classic iMessage tapbacks (love, like, dislike, laugh, emphasize, question) and emoji reactions (e.g. +😂, -😂).
The messageId can be an explicit message ID (e.g., msg_xxx) or a relative index (-1 for last message, -2 for second-to-last, etc.). When using relative indices, you can optionally filter by message direction (inbound/outbound only).
