Research direction
Start with the NetworkTransform documentation and the ServerRewind roadmap entry, then compare their authority behavior with the two-NetworkVariable example in the linked repository. Determine whether runtime authority changes and rewind support are intended, and document the supported approach or the scope of the required NetworkTransform changes.

Description
Hello, im currently studying Unity and I started not so long ago using Netcode for GameObjects.
I started following the Unity docs and everything went smoothly until I faced NetworkTransforms, I tried movement with server autority and client autority, witch both worked fine, however I was unable to make a ServerRewind movement method.
I tried having multiple NetworkTransforms with changed autorities (with OnIsServerAuthoritative true and false) and changing them in runtime, needless to say, this didn't work nor changing the OnIsServerAuthoritative method via variable as the method seems to only been called once.
I searched for ways to implement ServerRewind in Netcode for GameObjects but I found zero information about it.
Eventually I managed to do it using 2 NetworkVariables, with write permisions both on server and client and exchanging them values whenever needed (I have an example in my repo if anyone is curious).
I know that ServerRewind is currently on the roadmap, but as it is currently, is there any way for implementing it with NetworkTransforms?
