read.bulk.categories

The category map (id -> {name, path, status, icon_url}) for navigation/menus and the home tiles. Lists every category, inactive included (this is where the NAMES live) — the reader decides what it serves or links. Served on the BULK face: the same published answer as the public read, charged to the caller’s own bulk budget instead of the shopper’s, and never to be reached by a browser.

• Surface: GET /v1/read/bulk/categories
• Auth: ★ Bulk read (machine) — a TENANT credential is REQUIRED (no credential is unauthorized), and store must be a store of THAT tenant (another tenant’s is forbidden). The ANSWER is the public read’s, byte for byte: this store’s published assortment, no drafts, no actor. What the credential buys is the BUDGET — this face has its own RateLimit-* bucket, so walking a whole catalogue here takes nothing from the ceiling a shopper’s browser shares.
