Assets

Get Asset Token

Get a fresh per-asset token for storage operations (upload and download).

Resolves the user’s effective permissions on the asset and maps them to a permissions claim in the JWT.

User is required, since all token usage scenarios require it:

Uploading assets (web/desktop, in the init route)
Uploading chunks/manifests (fs, can only mount as user)
Downloading chunks/manifests (fs, can only mount as user)

Note: Single-file downloads directly use WorkOS tokens, since the worker calls /downloads/info might as well auth then. Fetching tokens separately still requires worker download info request, and both this & passing download info from client -> worker defeats purpose of single url download.

Returns 403 if the user has no read or write permissions.
