Research direction

Start by tracing the existing avatar-management path under index.php/ and reviewing how its CSRF protection affects mobile clients. Clarify the OCS endpoint's supported avatar operations and expected access behavior before estimating the implementation; done means mobile clients can manage avatars through the public endpoint without the current constraint.
