+### Pre-minted session tokens
+
+Use a pre-minted session token when another trusted service has already
+snapshotted the persona and session configuration:
+
+```python
+client = AnamClient(session_token="your-session-token")
+
+async with client.connect() as session:
+    await session.talk("This text is sent directly to TTS.")
+```
+
+The token and its server-side snapshot are authoritative. Do not also pass an
+API key, persona configuration, client label, routing override, or session
+options that you expect to override that snapshot.
+
