This refactor improves robustness & scalability by shifting trust away from client controlled data & enforcing authorization at the API layer.

3. Bearer tokens can’t be easily manipulated or altered by code, making them far more secure and reliable for authenticating users.

On the backend, I changed all controller functions to verify auth via the token. Users can now only interact w/ their own data.

2. The app was using user slugs along w/ tokens in the the fetch request. This created redundancy (since the token contained the user ID) & potential security risks (ie. unauthorized data access | user impersonation). By using header-based Bearer tokens, I eliminate these issues.
