Updates the site's `wp-config.php` to enable or disable `WP_DEBUG`. Synchronous — the change is applied during the request and the response reflects the final state. Returns 200 on success, 422 when the [Server](https://betterdocs.shahrear.msf.bd/encyclopedia/server/)-side script fails. Requires the `write:sites` scope and the `site:manage-update` [Team](https://betterdocs.shahrear.msf.bd/encyclopedia/team/) permission.
