> ## Agent Instructions
> Describe what the running code does. Do not invent hosted pricing, launch dates, or security guarantees. Share and viewer links are a configured base URL plus an artifact path. Show localhost and a placeholder origin such as https://library.example.com.

# Read a public share

> No session. The response omits creator, organization, access type, and the share URL. An inactive, unknown, or revoked token is `404 ARTIFACT_NOT_FOUND` and does not say whether the artifact exists. A password-protected share without a valid `X-Factrove-Share-Grant` is `401 PASSWORD_REQUIRED`. The view allowance is charged per visitor address before the link lookup and password check, so a 401 or 404 still consumes it. IPv6 addresses share a /64. A charge grants two companion content loads for 30 seconds. View units are limited to 60 per 60 seconds per client address, in memory on each API process. A content request without a remaining companion charges another view unit before its own lookup. That 429 does not include Retry-After. Responses send Referrer-Policy: no-referrer and X-Robots-Tag: noindex.

                400/404 INVALID_REQUEST: The request is missing a required
                field, has the wrong shape, or failed validation. Typical causes
                are a missing file, an invalid access type, view, format, or
                artifact id, or invalid UTF-8. Unmatched non-public product
                routes also return 404 INVALID_REQUEST with message Not found.
                400 ORGANIZATION_REQUIRED: The caller asked to share with an
                organization but has no current organization membership. Upload
                with accessType org_shared and PATCH /api/v1/artifacts/{id} for
                a private artifact both use this code. 409 ORGANIZATION_CHANGED:
                PATCH /api/v1/artifacts/{id} for a private artifact named an
                organizationId that is not the caller's current membership when
                the conditional UPDATE reads, or a deadlock, serialization
                failure, or lock timeout persisted after one retry. The artifact
                is not written. That UPDATE is the linearization point: an
                authorization change that commits after its snapshot can land
                before commit and does not cancel the share. About 16 seconds is
                the budget for the two attempts, not an endpoint deadline. An
                artifact that is already org_shared returns 200 instead. 401
                UNAUTHENTICATED: The product route needs a session cookie or
                Authorization: Bearer API key, and neither was accepted. PATCH
                /api/v1/artifacts/{id} also returns this when the session was
                revoked or expired before the conditional update read it, and
                does not write. A revocation that commits after that snapshot
                does not cancel the share. 401 PASSWORD_REQUIRED: The public
                share is password protected and the request did not present a
                valid unlock grant or content ticket. 401 PASSWORD_INCORRECT:
                The password sent to the public unlock route did not match. 403
                FORBIDDEN: A cookie-authenticated write used an Origin or
                Referer that is not WEB_ORIGIN or PUBLIC_BASE_URL. 404
                ARTIFACT_NOT_FOUND: The artifact id is unknown, the caller
                cannot read it, or the public share token is not active. Rename
                and delete also use this body when the caller is not the
                creator, including an organization admin or another member who
                can read an org_shared artifact. Those cases share this body.
                409 CONTENT_CONFLICT: Another replace of the same artifact
                revision finished first. Upload again to replace the current
                content. Delete returns this code when concurrent replaces
                prevent deletion after eight attempts. Retry DELETE. 413
                FILE_TOO_LARGE: The upload is larger than the 10 MiB HTML limit.
                A JSON body larger than 102,400 bytes uses the same code with
                message The request is too large. 413 CONTENT_TOO_LARGE: Stored
                HTML is larger than the Markdown conversion input limit. 415
                UNSUPPORTED_FILE_TYPE: The upload is not a .html or .htm file.
                422 CONTENT_TOO_COMPLEX: Markdown conversion exceeded its time,
                memory, nesting, or output limit. 429 RATE_LIMITED: Too many
                public views from one client address, or too many password
                attempts. Password-attempt 429 responses include Retry-After.
                Public-view 429 responses do not. 500 INTERNAL_ERROR: An
                unexpected persistence or service failure. 503
                STORAGE_UNAVAILABLE: Object storage failed. A failed upload
                leaves no artifact row. A failed artifact delete keeps the row.
                The object may already be gone, so retry DELETE. 503
                CONVERSION_UNAVAILABLE: The Markdown conversion worker pool is
                full. This response does not include Retry-After. 503
                UNLOCK_UNAVAILABLE: Password verification is busy because the
                process-wide Argon2 gate is saturated or every remaining share
                check slot is in flight. Includes Retry-After.
