notes: >-
  Primary programmatic auth is Ed25519 request signing via three apiKey headers
  (X-River-Key-Id, X-River-Timestamp, X-River-Signature). The canonical string is
  LF-joined: METHOD\nPATH\nSORTED_QUERY\nTIMESTAMP\nSHA256(body) hex. Timestamp must
  be within 30s of server time; signatures are deduped in Redis with a 60s TTL for
  replay protection. Keys are asymmetric — the server stores only the public key and
  the private key is shown once at creation and never traverses the wire after that.
  BearerAuth (JWT) is used by the web client. The official Python SDK signs transparently.
