Create a customer-portal session
Mint a short-lived bearer token that authenticates a specific customer against /v2/customer-portal/*. Returns an opaque rkcps_... token that expires in 60 minutes by default. Call this server-side from the merchant's backend, then hand the token to the customer's browser or embedded client. Treat the token like a password — never log it and never expose it to untrusted code.
