GET /v1/projects/:projectId/users/:appUserId/signal

Returns a merged view of a single user: their latest property state, consent flags, assigned cohorts, and day-1 / 7 / 30 retention status. Use it to render a "user detail" screen inside your partner UI, or to decide whether a user is eligible for a campaign before you target them.

The view is computed from the raw event stream and refreshed asynchronously. firstSeen / lastSeen reflect live event timestamps; retention and properties may lag. PII fields follow the same redaction rules as GET /events - redacted unless the key carries events:read+pii.
