Description

Currently, every admin and setup endpoint checks for authentication. It would be cleaner if authentication was checked once with a middleware approach and all endpoints wouldn't have to worry about it. Similarly, demo-mode is checked throughout admin and scouting endpoints and that could be done in a single place using middleware.

Research direction

Start by locating the admin, setup, and scouting endpoints and mapping where each currently checks authentication and demo-mode. Identify the existing middleware entry point or request flow before deciding how the checks could be centralized. Done means the affected endpoints rely on the middleware rather than repeating those checks.
