Needs attention
Auth.md Agent Registration
Issue
auth.md response did not match the expected agent registration shape. Content-Type "text/html; charset=UTF-8" is not Markdown or text/plain; missing registration instructions; missing /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource link; missing /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server link; missing supported identity type language; missing credential type language.
Why it matters
Agent registration metadata lets automated clients find the registration path, supported identity types, credential types, and related claim or revocation endpoints without scraping human docs.

Validation steps
Fetch protected resource metadata
The OAuth Protected Resource metadata endpoint did not return HTTP 2xx.
Validate protected resource metadata
Response is not valid JSON.
Validate protected resource identity
Protected resource metadata `resource` did not match the resource identifier used to retrieve it.
Probe protected API Bearer challenge
No protected route with a 401 Bearer challenge was detected; metadata alone does not prove a protected resource.
