docs: update Internet Identity guide for new AuthClient API (v7.0.0)#193
Conversation
The @icp-sdk/auth library was updated: AuthClient is now constructed directly (not via a static factory), sign-in is promise-based, and isAuthenticated() and getIdentity() flipped sync/async. Also moves identityProvider, derivationOrigin, and openIdProvider onto the constructor, and adds a one-click OpenID example.
…eam comment - Bumps .sources/icp-js-sdk-docs to 17e4346 (auth v7.0.0) - Fixes broken ../../reference/ link to ../../references/ (internet-identity-spec.md) - Updates Upstream comment to reference icp-js-sdk-docs submodule instead of upstream source repo
Adds msg_caller_info_data and msg_caller_info_signer to ic_cdk::api, which are required by the Rust backend example in the Internet Identity guide (identity attributes section). No other user-facing API changes between 0.19.0 and 0.20.1.
