  title: Confiroll payroll-api
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    The Confiroll BFF (backend-for-frontend) for confidential contractor payroll
    on Stellar **testnet**. It issues session JWTs (SEP-10 wallet or Privy
    email) and fee-bumps browser-signed confidential transfers (Fork B). It
    holds operational keys only, never a user's signing or viewing key.


    Every handled error returns `{ "error": string }`. Request bodies are
    limited to 256 KiB.
