AI Coding Instructions

• Treat this package as server-side OWIN middleware configured by the Pams API project.
• Send browser API requests with credentials: "include" when authentication depends on cookies.
• Do not place authentication cookies in JavaScript-managed storage or manually add them to request headers.
• Check cookie middleware configuration when protected API endpoints return authentication challenges.
• Keep cookie authentication settings aligned with the API's authorization rules and sign-in flow.
