Check your understanding
Run this practice: Ask, in a repo where the answer lives beyond the open file.
Outcome: Indexing is complete, the answer cites three relevant files, and an exact verifyToken( search confirms the two named call sites. If the first answer was generic, narrow to /src/auth and rerun it until you reach the same checkable result.
