Seem to be running into issues between filter on init and authenticate mostly I think because I don’t understand what the functions should do wordpress wise with setting cookies for rest to work.

Any ideas?

On algorithmic reversing. For sngpl.ma I chose to use algo shortening (same algo as Whistle) for one reason: durability. What if I leave WordPress? What if my DB (and backups) get lost? What if my site goes offline? With an algo shortener you can look up the post in the Internet Archive or similar even if my site goes away.
