Pull request overview
This PR rewrites the Fusion gateway “Authentication and Authorization” documentation to align it more closely with standard ASP.NET Core authn/authz patterns, and to clarify gateway vs. subgraph responsibilities.
Changes:
- Reframes auth guidance around standard ASP.NET Core authentication/authorization configuration and endpoint protection.
- Expands documentation for forwarding identity to subgraphs via ASP.NET Core header propagation and custom
DelegatingHandlerapproaches. - Updates guidance on browser/cookie scenarios, mTLS options, and trust boundaries between clients, gateway, and subgraphs.

- Heading grammar: "Cookies Authentication" should be "Cookie Authentication" (cookie auth is singular in ASP.NET Core terminology).

- This site section (under
website/src/docs/...) consistently uses route-style links like/docs/hotchocolate/v16/...(e.g.website/src/docs/fusion/v16/guides/first-party-api.md:234-237). The new relative markdown link with a.mdextension is likely to break in the v16 Docusaurus build; please switch this to the route-style link for the Hot Chocolate authorization page.
The subgraph ultimately decides whether a request can access specific data. Only the subgraph has the full context about the data and its business rules, so it is best suited to make authorization decisions.
For more information on subgraph-level authorization, `@authorize`, policies, and claims in Hot Chocolate subgraphs, see [Hot Chocolate authorization](../hotchocolate/securing-your-api/authorization.md).
