        ## Authentication
        This API uses **JWT Bearer tokens** for authentication.

        1. Login via `/api/v1/auth/login` to obtain tokens
        2. Include the access token in the `Authorization` header: `Bearer <access_token>`
        3. Refresh expired tokens via `/api/v1/auth/refresh-token`

        ## Versioning
        The API uses URL path versioning (e.g., `/api/v1/`, `/api/v2/`).
        Current version: **v1**
