I think an API in the style of archive modules might probably be a
good way to go, yeah.

It's probably not very high on the list of priorities, though, since
the inputs and outputs are going to "look" the same whether you're
inside or outside of the server process. The client side is going to
need the bulk of the work/testing/validation. Speaking of which -- how
is the current PQauthDataHook design doing when paired with MS AAD
(er, Entra now I guess)? I haven't had an Azure test bed available for
a while.
