+Claude Code gateway protocol.
+
+Implements the wire contract the Claude Code CLI uses to talk to a gateway:
+OAuth 2.0 device-authorization sign-in (RFC 8414 / RFC 8628), inference via the
+Anthropic Messages API, managed settings, and OTLP telemetry ingestion. See
+https://code.claude.com/docs/en/claude-apps-gateway.
+
+Everything lives under the ``/claude_code_gateway`` base so operators point
+Claude Code at ``https://<proxy-host>/claude_code_gateway`` via ``/login``. The
+device flow reuses the proxy's existing SSO login machinery: the browser leg is
+served by ``/sso/key/generate`` and the shared ``cli_sso_session_cache`` flow,
+so the bearer token minted here is the same session JWT the LiteLLM CLI uses and
+is accepted by every bearer-authenticated proxy route.
