+// `GET /app` has two personalities, discriminated by the request's `JsonLdContext` header.
+//
+// 1. Solid-OIDC Client ID Document. The pod provider's OIDC adapter (RedisAdapter.find)
+//    resolves an unknown `client_id` that starts with `http` by fetching it, sending
+//    `Accept: application/ld+json` and `JsonLdContext: https://www.w3.org/ns/solid/oidc-context.jsonld`.
+//    The pod provider runs the login with `client_id = <HOME_URL>/app`, so this same URL must,
+//    for that fetch, return a document whose `@context` literally includes the Solid-OIDC
+//    context, whose `client_id` equals the fetched URI exactly, and which carries `redirect_uris`.
+//    Anything else fails `invalid_client_metadata / client_id is mandatory property`.
+//
+// 2. SAI app description (the actor). The pod provider's auth-agent fetches this URL
+//    WITHOUT the `JsonLdContext` header (`ldp.remote.getNetwork`) to install/describe the app,
+//    and expects the app actor document served today (`type: [Application, interop:Application]`).
+//
+// The `JsonLdContext` header is the only discriminator: same path, two representations.
