    Hookie exposes three HTTP surfaces.


    **Ingest + streaming** is the public plane. A path-form endpoint URL
    authenticates by its own high-entropy slug — there is no key, token or
    cookie — and an `ik_live_…` ingest key authenticates the `/v1/*` routes.
    Whenever the URL names a dataset the payload is stored whole into it;
    project mapping rules are evaluated on exactly one shape, `POST
    /v1/ingest/{ingest_key}` with no dataset segment.


    **The customer portal API** is a separate, token-authed surface for your end
    customers, scoped to one portal and one customer.


    **The admin API** drives the console. It accepts either a browser session or
    an OAuth bearer token from a connected coding agent — the same routes, the
    same validation, the same audit trail. An agent's authority is its user's
    workspace role narrowed to the scopes granted in the console.

            submissions, deliveries, agent runs and destinations are kept with
            project_id set to NULL so history and foreign keys stay intact.
            Returns ok:true even when no project matched - the handler does not
            check the affected row count, so a missing id is not a 404.

        a bearer token is not ambient credentials.
