Now that we have public
view
permission, this updates the documentation to reflect it by describing how and when to authenticate.It also duplicates the two main authentication routes under the API namespace at
/api/v0/users/sign_in
and/api/v0/users/session
— the fact that they were at the root has always been confusing and this also allows the interactive features in the docs page to work.
