A short-lived token your server hands to your own front end, so prebuilt components (`@anlyonhq/react`) can act for this one end user in the browser. The token lists, connects and disconnects the end user's accounts and, when this key also has `end-users:approvals`, lists and decides their own approvals, through `/api/v2/end-user-session`. Nothing else: no action call, secret or other end user, and it cannot confirm a connection. Lasts 15 minutes by default, 60 seconds to 1 hour on request, and never past this key's own expiry. Revoking this key ends its sessions. API keys only: a console session or an OAuth token answers `403 END_USER_SESSION_API_KEY_REQUIRED`. Recorded as `end_user.session_created`.
