# Dev Auth Bypass

- Given the app URL, navigate the browser to `<app-url>/api/dev-login`.
- Use browser navigation rather than `curl` so the browser receives the session cookie.
- Expect the route to create the local dev user and session, then redirect to the app.
- Use this route only in development. It returns `404` otherwise.
