[Step 1/5] Create a new article draft

Step 1 of 5 — Create an empty draft and get an article_id.

The article_id returned here is required by all subsequent steps.

Full flow:

➡️ POST /x/articles/draft — get article_id
PUT /x/articles/{article_id}/cover — (optional) set cover image
PUT /x/articles/{article_id}/title — set title
PUT /x/articles/{article_id}/content — set body (Markdown)
POST /x/articles/{article_id}/publish — publish and get tweet_id

💡 Tip: For full control (e.g. preview before publish, retry individual steps), use the step-by-step flow above. Use POST /x/articles/publish only for quick one-shot publishing.
