# WebSocket Protocol (v3)
Frame types: `req` (client request), `res` (server response), `event` (server push).
## Authentication
The first request must be a `connect` handshake. Authentication supports three paths:
```json
// Path 1: Token-based (admin role)
{"type": "req", "id": 1, "method": "connect", "params": {"token": "your-gateway-token", "user_id": "alice"}}
// Path 2: Browser pairing reconnect (operator role)
{"type": "req", "id": 1, "method": "connect", "params": {"sender_id": "previously-paired-id", "user_id": "alice"}}
// Path 3: No token — initiates browser pairing flow (returns pairing code)
{"type": "req", "id": 1, "method": "connect", "params": {"user_id": "alice"}}
```

| `device.pair.request` | Request device pairing |
| `device.pair.approve` | Approve a pairing code |
