Description

- Add a client middleware which receives and re-uses a session token from the server.
- Add a server middleware which, when encountering a request with no session header, creates a session on the backend, generates a token for it, and sends the token to the client in a header. The client can re-use this as indicated above.
- If the client has a session header, re-use the same session from the backend (report an error if an invalid session was used).

Research direction

Start by locating the Java client and server middleware entry points responsible for request and response headers, then trace how backend sessions and invalid-session errors are represented. Define the client and server integration tests needed to cover token creation, reuse, and invalid tokens; done means both middleware paths consistently share the backend session.
