Description

Spec version 1.2 introduced token-authenticated registration and a new client API endpoint (MSC3231), this is currently missing.

GET /_matrix/client/v1/register/m.login.registration_token/validity spec

To generate tokens, we should use the same admin endpoints as Synapse, so existing tools to create tokens can be used for Dendrite as well.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the Dendrite registration flow, implement the GET / matrix/client/v1/register/m.login.registration token/validity endpoint with token validation, and create admin endpoints for token generation similar to Synapse.
