# Whiteboard

Whiteboard collaboration APIs (reference-only).

`client.whiteboard` wraps collaborative whiteboard RPCs:

| Method                                | Purpose                |
| ------------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
| `create(...)`                         | Create a board         |
| `get(board_id=...)` / `list(...)`     | Read boards            |
| `update(...)` / `update_acl(...)`     | Change metadata or ACL |
| `archive(board_id=..., archived=...)` | Archive/restore        |
| `mint_join_token(board_id=...)`       | Create a join token    |

Methods accept dict-shaped ACL/snapshot payloads and return `ApiData`.

Whiteboard is an interactive JWT/session feature, **not a supported API-key flow**. The wrappers remain for protocol coverage; correctly configured environments may reject these calls or leave the routes unmounted. Use the TypeScript session client.

Join tokens and ACL payloads are credentials: never log them. Whiteboard availability must not be included in a trading bot's health gate.
