## Architecture Highlights

### 1. Type Safety
- Full TypeScript strict mode compliance
- All error codes are typed enums/unions
- All API responses are properly typed
- All request parameters are validated at compile time

### 2. Security
- CSRF token automatically fetched and cached
- Tokens stored in memory (never localStorage)
- Automatic injection into X-CSRF-Token header
- Cookie-based authentication with credentials: 'include'
- Bearer token automatically injected in Authorization header
- Error messages prevent information leakage

### 3. Error Handling
- Custom AuthError class with detailed information
- Automatic conversion of ApiError to AuthError
- User-friendly error messages via getAuthErrorMessage()
- Logout decision helper via shouldLogoutOnError()
- Type guards for safe error handling

### 4. Integration
- Works seamlessly with existing apiClient
- Uses existing CSRF utilities
- Integrates with existing auth store
- Uses existing error handling patterns
- Follows existing code conventions

### 5. User Experience
- Non-throwing getCurrentUser() for session restoration
- Clear error messages for common scenarios
- Automatic token refresh capability
- Session restoration on page reload
- Rate limiting awareness (429 responses)

## Integration Steps

### 1. Import in Components
```typescript
import { authApi, isAuthError, getAuthErrorMessage } from '@/api/auth';
```

### 2. Use in Login Component
```typescript
const { user, token } = await authApi.login({ email, password });
authStore.setUser(user);
authStore.setToken(token);
```

### 3. Handle Errors
```typescript
try {
  await authApi.login(credentials);
} catch (error) {
  if (isAuthError(error)) {
    toast.error(getAuthErrorMessage(error));
    if (shouldLogoutOnError(error)) {
      authStore.logout();
    }
  }
}
```

### 4. Session Restoration
```typescript
useEffect(() => {
  const restoreSession = async () => {
    const user = await authApi.getCurrentUser();
    if (user) authStore.setUser(user);
  };
  restoreSession();
}, []);
```
