## Storefront API changes when Cart ID is missing the key param

We are modifying how cart queries and mutations behave when the [Storefront API Cart ID](https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/headless/building-with-the-storefront-api/cart/manage#cart-id) is missing the key param. This behavior is applied retroactively to all versions of the Storefront API. 

An example cart ID: gid://shopify/Cart/c1-7a2abe82733a34e84aa472d57fb5c3c1?**key=824bdj25mhg1242bdb385**

* **Queries:** Querying a cart without including the key param will result in a cart with the buyer's private details removed.

* **Mutations** Updating a cart without including the key param will result in an error : `The specified cart does not exist`.
