Rokwire Gateway Building Block API

The Rokwire service that fronts external and campus systems for the Illinois app — wayfinding and building/floorplan data, campus data streams, and third-party service integration. University-written, deployed at api.rokwire.illinois.edu/gateway, source at github.com/rokwire/gateway-building-block under Apache 2.0. Version 2.21.1, 34 paths / 45 operations. An anonymous call to /api/wayfinding/buildings returns 401 with the Rokwire error envelope, confirming the surface is live and bearer-gated rather than absent.
