-### Admin
-
-`GET /admin` serves the admin page. Enter the admin key there — it is stored in
-`sessionStorage` (never a cookie) and sent as the `X-Admin-Key` header on
-`GET`/`POST /admin/api/settings`.
-
-The admin API reads/sets: rate-limit burst, rate-limit refill per minute, max
-content bytes, default expiry, custom URL reservation days, and the burn
-viewer window (minutes). All admin access attempts are logged.
-
-```bash
-./palette --reset-admin-key   # regenerate the admin key and print it
-```
+An `/admin` page exists for runtime settings, protected by a key set at
+install (`PALETTE_ADMIN_KEY` env var) and resettable locally — see
+[docs/API.md](docs/API.md) and [docs/design/](docs/design/) for details.
