any details that are not necessary for the UI to know (like the response
channels mentioned above, which cannot be serialized over D-Bus anyway).

USB, hybrid, and NFC handler events pass through shared request lifecycle
handling, while each transport keeps its own public states. All selected
transports share one snapshot of their originating request. Terminal events
are scoped to that request, so stale streams cannot complete a newer request.
Cancellation wakes pending streams. If every selected transport ends without
a terminal event, the request fails instead of remaining pending.

Actual interaction I/O is performed using the [libwebauthn][libwebauthn] library.
