  Every API in this repo authenticates with Google OAuth 2.0 access tokens (Bearer)
  scoped per Discovery document (see scopes/). Server integrations use Google service
  accounts (JWT bearer). Firebase Cloud Messaging additionally supports the Firebase
  Admin SDK credential flow. Play Integrity verdicts are additionally protected by
  Google-managed keys. No API keys or basic auth are used for these management APIs.
