Even though we have a dedicated API-doc, I feel like the short explanation of the Flow Controller could be a bit more precise.

I think I'm suffering from the curse of knowledge here. Could you elaborate on how I could expand? I added a couple of sentences, but I don't know if that's sufficient.

| Types and functions to deal with WebAuthn data. |

Could be a bit more precise. Something like "Types and functions needed to repackage requests from and responses to JSON-strings according to the WebAuthn spec (link: https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-3).
With one notable deviation from the spec: Due to D-Bus limitations, raw binary fields need to be base64 encoded strings.
It is the responsibility of the application using this service to de/construct the field accordingly."

Yeah, I was tired by this point 😃.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll rephrase slightly and use "Due to JSON limitations," since D-Bus is capable of passing binary data, but we're choosing to wrap responses in JSON.
