Glif REST API

Read-and-write REST API for the Glif platform — list and fetch glifs (`/glifs`), look up runs (`/runs`), fetch the authenticated user (`/me`), look up users (`/user`), and browse curated collections (`/spheres`). Supports filtering by `id`, `username`, `userId`, `glifId`, `featured`, pagination with `page` and `limit` (default 20, max 100), and inclusion of full glif-graph JSON via `?includes=spells.data`. A private POST `/glifs` endpoint creates draft glifs by supplying a graph of node blocks (TextInputBlock, GPTBlock, ComfyUI blocks, etc.). Deprecated 2026-05-20 alongside the Simple API as Glif retired the workflow-builder surface in favor of the chat-based agent.
