What you can do without an account, what changes when you register, and how sign-in works.

There are three kinds of visitor, and the difference matters for what you can reach and what you get.

Guests get no free credits at all. The welcome credits are for newly registered accounts only: 50 at sign-up and 50 on your first return visit. Source: worker/src/freeIntro.ts:64, where an anonymous caller returns before any grant is made.

Signed out: Can browse Explore, read Stories, view the public image gallery, and open the Store. Cannot save anything.
Guest (anonymous session): A throwaway session with no email attached. Chats live on your device. Guests receive zero free credits.
Registered account: Everything. Saved chats, a library, personas, the credit wallet, the 100 welcome credits, multiplayer, campaigns and the marketplace.

How routes are gated

Three different rules are in play, and they behave differently when you are not eligible:

Open: Anyone, signed out included: Explore, a chat screen, Images, Stories, Store, Marketplace, a creator profile, Settings.
Prompted: The page loads for a guest but pops a sign-in prompt for the parts that need an account: Chats, Customize, Library, Companion.
Members only: Guests and anonymous sessions are redirected back to Explore: Campaign, Turing Test, Multiplayer, Cosmetics, Gifts, Creator Program, and every story-authoring route.
Admin: Every /admin route. See Admin: dashboard, config and tooling.

Signing in

Signing in from Settings sends you back to Settings afterwards, because the sign-in button carries a redirect. Source: web/src/views/user/Settings.tsx:361.

Open the sign-in screen: From Settings or any prompt. It lives at /auth.
Authenticate: Sign-in runs through the shared Cognitive Industries account system, so one account works across every app on the platform.
Land back in the app: The provider returns you to /auth/callback, which finishes the exchange and drops you where you were.

Upgrading a guest session

A guest can link an account at any time from Settings. Some features refuse to run until you do. The client-side chat vault, for one, requires a linked account.
