Walkthrough

This update adds comprehensive documentation comments to several exported methods in the webauthn/login.go and webauthn/registration.go files. The comments clarify the usage patterns and parsing requirements for each function, but do not alter any logic, control flow, or error handling within the methods themselves.

Changes

File(s)	Change Summary
webauthn/login.go	Added detailed documentation comments to FinishDiscoverableLogin, FinishPasskeyLogin, ValidateLogin, ValidateDiscoverableLogin, and ValidatePasskeyLogin methods. No logic or signature changes.
webauthn/registration.go	Added extended documentation comments to FinishRegistration and CreateCredential methods. No logic or signature changes.

Poem

In the warren of code, clear words now bloom,
Functions explained, removing all gloom.
No logic disturbed, just guidance anew,
For devs with questions, the docs now come through.
🐇✨

Hop on, dear coder, the comments are true!
