Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating Parse Server's GraphQL configuration and introspection handling, then trace how master-key authorization is represented. Done means a documented option such as masterKeyOnlyGraphQLIntrospection restricts full schema introspection to master-key requests, with coverage for both authorized and unauthorized access.
