 - Frontend data access flows through `src/api/*` adapter modules.
 - The UI does not access DAL or internal services directly.
 - Route shell and protected sections are session-aware via Thalos session endpoints.
-- Runtime base URLs:
-  - `API_BASE_URL` for business BFF calls.
-  - `THALOS_AUTH_BASE_URL` for session login/refresh/logout/me.
