It will be good to have the Pkg protocol documented. It is somewhat fragmented across multiple PRs now, which is hard to browse and can be sometimes confusing because of changes done over time. I had collated those into one rough consolidated doc sometime back... will put up a separate PR with that in a bit to iterate on and possibly add that as well. |

Companion for #42, which attempts, in detail, to document the current ("classic") authentication flow. It's a non-standard flow, so currently the implementation here effectively is the specification of the flow (for anyone who would like to implement their own authenticated package server).
The device token docs from #42 could nicely be added to the end of the file.
