Client initialization serves three purposes:
- It confirms that the client's [identity token](./authentication.md) is valid, and tells the client what user that token is associated with.
-- It provides an initial snapshot of the state of the service.
-- It provides a resume point for the [event stream](./events.md), which allows clients to consume events starting from the moment the snapshot was created.
