+"""Token audiences — one hub key, two purposes, never interchangeable.
+
+The hub signs everything with one Ed25519 key, but a token has to say what it is
+*for*, or a credential minted for one purpose is honoured for another. Two
+audiences settle it:
+
+- ``HUB_API_AUD`` — a session token, presented to the **hub API** (``hubFetch``,
+ signaling). Carried by the browser and the desktop client, and by a node for
+ its own hub calls.
+- ``MNP_AUD`` — a short-lived token a member presents to a **node** in the MNP
+ handshake, and to nothing else. It authorises the member to that node
+ (``sub``, ``groups``, ``jti``) and is **useless at the hub API**.
+
+The reason this exists: a member hands whatever token it holds to every node it
+connects to (the handshake authenticates with it). If that were the session
+token, a node operator — who is in the threat model — would hold a live hub
+credential for the member and could act as them at the hub. Separating the
+audiences means the credential a node receives opens nothing at the hub, and the
+credential the hub API accepts is never disclosed to a node.
+
+The hub API decode (:func:`meshbay_hub.auth.decode_access_token`) binds
+``HUB_API_AUD``; the node handshake decode
+(:func:`meshbay_common.handshake.authorize_token`) binds ``MNP_AUD``. Each
+rejects the other's audience.
