Hi Kratos community.

*Whoami endpoint behaviour question.* 

My team has implemented the account recovery flow using the `link` method.

Upon clicking the link sent to the user by email the browser is successfully redirected to the account recovery UI in our FE app. At this stage, a request to the `whoami` endpoint returns a full authenticated session information.

Is this the expected behaviour?  We were expecting a http 401 or partial session of some kind until the user has logged in after password reset.
