Was the Goldilocks API ever published?

At the moment I've got a situation where occasionally my own login cookies let the user in, and then a few seconds later Persona says "Oh no you're not!" and effectively forces a logout.

If I remember correctly the API was going to let you run in a mode where we could use our own method to maintain login status, and just call Persona whenever we needed to log in.

Thanks,

Andy

FWIW That is how I've interpreted OIDC to work, and it has some nice properties for certain use-cases.

OP-initiated logout is still possible, if the RP wants to obey it: http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-session-1_0.html#ChangeNotification

I came across a javascript shim Dan wrote that essentially wraps the
observer API to give you the goldilocks api:

all slightly forlorn and moot now that persona is being retired, boo hoo.
