::route-meta{def="GetExternalAuthClientRouteV2"}

Public lookup for the consent page. The page calls this route with the `client_id` from the query string to render the app name and verify the redirect URI before showing the consent prompt. The endpoint never returns the client secret.

Unknown ids return `<response>400 badExternalAuthRequest</response>` - the same response used for every other failure mode in the [External auth](/api/external-auth/) flow.
