Description

Hello,
I’ve been running the project locally and noticed that:

The backend exposes:
/api/auth/register
/api/auth/login
/api/auth/me

But the frontend never makes any calls to these endpoints (verified via Network tab and code search). Only /api/streams seems to be integrated.

I wanted to ask:
1)Is frontend authentication still a WIP?
2)Or is the auth system meant only for API use right now?

Happy to help wire it up if this is an open task. Thanks for the project!

Research direction

Start by comparing the frontend's existing /api/streams integration with the backend endpoints /api/auth/register, /api/auth/login, and /api/auth/me, using code search and the browser Network tab. Before implementation, clarify whether frontend authentication is intended and define the expected registration, login, and current-user behavior; done would mean the agreed auth flow is integrated and verified in the Network tab.
