    Single-user structured observations with equivalent REST and MCP domain
    services. Environment AUTH_KEY or revocable personal Bearer keys with
    required name, permissions and explicit expiry (including Never); Primary
    key management requires AUTH_KEY; the UI uses separate, root-verified
    30-minute management sessions. MCP clients use OAuth authorization code with
    S256 PKCE, issued after root sign-in. Clients are resolved through HTTPS
    metadata, pre-registration or dynamic registration. OAuth tokens grant MCP
    access only.
