docs(sessions): enhance authentication details in session API descrip…

[ahmednahima0-beep]

…tions

Updated the descriptions for GET and POST endpoints related to sessions to clarify authentication requirements. Added explicit instructions on using either x-api-key or Authorization: Bearer <privy-access-token>, and detailed the consequences of sending both or neither. Enhanced error descriptions for unauthorized access to provide clearer guidance on potential issues. This improves the overall clarity and usability of the API documentation.

Summary by cubic

Clarified auth in session API docs: send exactly one of x-api-key or Authorization: Bearer <privy-access-token>—sending both or neither returns 401; added clear 403/404 notes. Also added descriptions to ApiKeyAuth and BearerAuth and standardized the 401 error body on GET/POST under /api/sessions/{sessionId} and /api/sessions/{sessionId}/chats.

^{Written for commit 7042ebf. Summary will update on new commits.}

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

OpenAPI specifications in sessions.json are updated to clarify authentication behavior across session and chat endpoints: clients must send exactly one of x-api-key or Authorization: Bearer token; both or neither return 401 with detailed error response format. Operation descriptions now document error expectations (403/404 for permissions, 409 for idempotency conflicts) and endpoint-specific behavior.

Changes

Sessions API Authentication and Error Documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Security scheme documentation api-reference/openapi/sessions.json	ApiKeyAuth (x-api-key) and BearerAuth security scheme descriptions specify intended client usage and token/header format.
Session GET endpoint authentication and errors api-reference/openapi/sessions.json	GET /api/sessions/{sessionId} operation description and 401 response clarify the "exactly one credential" authentication rule and error response body format.
Chat listing endpoint authentication, errors, and ownership api-reference/openapi/sessions.json	GET /api/sessions/{sessionId}/chats operation description and 401 response document authentication exclusivity, 403/404 ownership and permission expectations, and list sorting behavior.
Chat creation endpoint authentication, errors, and idempotency api-reference/openapi/sessions.json	POST /api/sessions/{sessionId}/chats operation description and 401 response clarify authentication rules, ownership expectations, and deterministic chat-id idempotency (409 on cross-session conflicts within the session).

Poem

🐰 Hopping through the auth domain so fine,
Your docs now shine with rules so clear—
Exactly one credential at a time,
No mixed-up tokens need we fear,
The chats are idempotent, don't you see? ✨
