Runs just this check in quick mode. The report opens with the evidence and the fix.
Why it matters
Agents stall at sign-in. auth.md is a plain file that says which identity and credential an agent needs, how to get one, and where to register, so it does not have to guess.
How to fix it
Serve /auth.md as text/markdown with a first heading of `# auth.md`, the identity and credential types you accept, and how to register. If no credential is needed, say so.
