Drops the now-playing claim WITHOUT finishing: the tip stays in the queue at its position, the slot frees, and the tip can be claimed again (by you after recovering, or by any other consumer). Fires `queue.tts.released`. Only drops a claim that actually points at this order id - it can never kick out a different tip's claim, and releasing something you don't hold is a safe no-op (`released: false`). If the tip DID play, use [finish](/api/tts-queue/finishttsitem) instead so it lands in history. Requires `tts:control`.
