summary: 'The OpenJustice JSON:API requires no authentication for reads. Every collection and individual read was
  performed anonymously with no header, key, cookie or token and returned HTTP 200 application/vnd.api+json. There
  is no sign-up, no key issuance, no OAuth authorization server and no developer account, because there is no developer
  programme. Writes are a different story from most government Drupal JSON:API sites: the module is NOT configured
  read-only. Anonymous create is granted on the three feedback content types the site footer posts to (node--signup,
  node--suggestion, node--bug); every other write route answers 401 ''No authentication credentials provided.''
  with no documented way for a member of the public to obtain credentials — those routes exist for DOJ content editors.'

  write: anonymous on node--signup / node--suggestion / node--bug only; credentialed (undocumented, staff) elsewhere
  note: Empty-body anonymous POST returns 400 "Empty request body." on the three feedback routes (authorisation
    passed, validation failed) and 401 on every other route probed. No populated write was sent.
authorization_visible_in_responses:
  mechanism: Drupal entity access, applied silently per resource type
  signal: meta.omitted
  detail: 32 of the 70 advertised resource types return HTTP 200 with an empty data array and a meta.omitted block.
    These are configuration entities (views, field definitions, roles, webforms, workflows) plus the three feedback
    types and node--dataset when paged with page[limit]=1 (its lowest-id node is unpublished). A caller sees a 200
    and an empty collection, not a 401 or 403.
