Access Records Fallback Content and arv Flag

Access Records further encrypt content in the database. The Encipher API will return the Access Record-encrypted content if able. If not, fallback content will be returned instead. The fallback content is the non-Access Record-encrypted content, which is the database record identified by the same HK1 reference key but without the Access Record component.

If the arv flag is set to 1 on the API content routes (such as /c/) then a JSON error is returned further explaining the problem with the Access Record as opposed to the fallback content.

If no fallback content is available, then the server responds with an HTTP 404 Not Found error which is the expected response for a missing resource.
