    Two-step auth. Franchise username/password are exchanged via HTTP Basic auth
    against POST /token to obtain a bearer access token. All other endpoints require
    the bearer token. Tokens are valid for 24 hours and scoped to a single franchise;
    partners receive a separate username/password per franchise they act on behalf of.
