# Poll a device login and mint the API key on approval

UNAUTHENTICATED. Poll every 5 s with the `device_code`. Non-terminal
states return 200 with `status` of `pending` or `slow_down`
(includes `interval`). Terminal: `expired`, `denied`, or
`authorized`. On the first poll after browser approval the response
carries the plaintext `api_key` (scopes read/write/ai, no expiry)
EXACTLY ONCE — persist it immediately; subsequent polls return
`expired`.
