• Service Hook Implementation: Details on using router_service, supergraph_service, execution_service, and subgraph_service for request lifecycle interception.
• Common Patterns & Examples: Illustrates patterns like request/response transformation, checkpointing, and async operations with practical code snippets.
• Use Case: You need to add custom authentication logic that inspects HTTP headers before the GraphQL request is processed. This skill guides you to implement this using the router_service hook.
