* Manage user sessions and interactions within the Super App

Example use cases:

```js
// Example pseudo-code: connecting to Valu Frontend API
import { ValuAPI } from 'valuverse-sdk'

const valu = new ValuAPI({ apiKey: process.env.VALU_KEY })

const user = await valu.auth.loginWithValuID()
console.log('Welcome to Valuverse,', user.name)
```
