Documented steps

  1. Receive the SIWF credential (a message + Ed25519 signature) from the client at your backend endpoint.
  2. Validate the message shape: it must contain fid, domain, nonce, issued_at, expiration_time, and the signature must verify against the signer's public key.
  3. Enforce domain == your app, nonce == the one you issued and still unused, and that issued_at/expiration_time are within the expected window.
  4. Confirm the signing key (custody or registered app/auth key for that fid) is active on the latest Snapchain state, and that the fid is registered.
  5. If all checks pass, create a server session and return success; store the consumed nonce to block replays.
