Read whether the install serves anonymous visitors

GET

/admin/system/public-mode

• Local development behind nginx (port 8088 by default)

Reports whether public mode is enabled. When disabled (the default, and the state of every install that has never set it), anonymous callers are refused the public read surface: assets, collections, search and IIIF. Authenticated access is unaffected in either state, and row-level visibility and content sensitivity rules still apply on top when it is enabled.

When true, anonymous callers may reach the public read surface (assets, collections, search, IIIF). When false — the default, and the state of any install that has never set it — those routes return 401 to anonymous callers.
