Research direction
Start with the two linked Matrix Client-Server API sections for the password-reset requestToken endpoints, then review the issue's comment thread for the intended scope of merging them. Done means the specification clearly defines the resulting endpoint behavior and no longer presents the two separate endpoints as conflicting alternatives.
