Sign in on a TV by scanning a QR code with your phone

Typing an email and password with a TV remote is miserable, so now nobody has
to. A TV app can show a QR code and a short 8-letter code instead. Your client
scans the QR with their phone (or opens the link and types the short code),
approves the sign-in from the account they are already logged into, and the TV
signs itself in a few seconds later.

No password is ever typed or shown on the TV, and the codes are strictly
single-use: each pair works once, expires after 10 minutes, and a code that
was already used — or guessed at too many times — simply stops working. The
approval always happens on the client's own phone or computer, inside their
existing signed-in session, so the TV never holds anything worth stealing.

This ships as backend support first: it is live for client-facing TV apps
built against the Booking Bible API (the Namasté online studio is the first),
and nothing changes for venues until a TV experience is rolled out to them.
