+## How the browser token is obtained — read this before writing any fetch
+
+The browser session token is NOT on the auth context. §useAuth()§ from
+§@/components/auth-provider§ exposes §user§, §loading§ and the auth actions,
+and **no §token§**. Reading §useAuth().token§ gives §undefined§, which makes
+§authHeaders()§ silently send NO session and every route answers 401.
+
+The token lives in the PocketBase client auth store. This is the house
+pattern — copy it exactly:
+
+§§§ts
+import { getPocketBase } from "@/lib/pocketbase";
+
+const token = getPocketBase().authStore.token;
+const headers = token ? { Authorization: "Bearer " + token } : {};
+§§§
+
+§src/app/(app)/delivery-pool/page.tsx§ and §src/app/(app)/search/page.tsx§
+both do this. The Task 1 implementer confirmed it against the real
+§auth-provider.tsx§, and every repairs fetch in the office screens now
+uses it.
+
+**In tests**, mock the pocketbase module, not the auth provider:
+
+§§§ts
+vi.mock("@/lib/pocketbase", () => ({
+  getPocketBase: () => ({ authStore: { token: "t" } }),
+}));

 Read the token from `useAuth()` — the same hook `MobileAuthGate` uses. Add a small helper in each page, matching the repo's existing shape:
