Create an ephemeral AutoScribe viewer session

POST/v1/autoScribe/ephemeral-sessions

Mints a 30-second tokenized landing URL for a userless, studyless AutoScribe viewer session. The token names a customer retrievalId (not an Avara study). Optional options are echoed verbatim on ephemeral.access_requested (max 3072 bytes JSON). Optional hangingProtocol applies a single-monitor layout when the viewer loads. Requires a customer study webhook on the API key.

hangingProtocol: optional EphemeralHangingProtocol { layout, viewportAssignments }

Optional single-monitor hanging protocol applied when the ephemeral viewer loads. Omitted = no protocol. Invalid shape is rejected.
