# Get User

`GET /user`

Get the user from the database.

If the user does not exist, create it. If the user exists, return the user.

Uses UserToken directly instead of AuthorizedUserDep because first-time
users won't exist in the DB yet — that creation happens here.

Args:
    user_token: JWT token with user identity

Returns:
    UserResponse: The user response object with roles included.

## Query parameters
