Forge is a compact API layer that sits in front of internal services, handling authentication, throttling, and structured logging.

It demonstrates a clean, framework-free approach to building secure APIs in PHP — with JSON responses, bearer-token auth, and configurable per-endpoint rate limits stored efficiently on disk.
