Session
The auth context or identifier that keeps login state alive across requests
Core Idea
A session is the authentication context that lets a server remember that a user already logged in. Some systems keep the state directly on the server, while others issue a token and let the browser carry the identifier between requests.
Why It Matters Here
Mathbong uses sessions to connect SvelteKit login persistence, FastAPI token auth, and protected layout flows. The shared question is always the same: how does one successful login continue to matter on later requests?
