Why it matters
A Link header is the first thing an agent sees: it arrives with every response, before any HTML is read. It tells the agent where the API description, the documentation and the catalog are, without guessing paths.
How to fix it
Send Link headers on your HTML responses, for example `Link: </.well-known/api-catalog>; rel="api-catalog", </openapi.json>; rel="service-desc", </docs>; rel="service-doc", </llms.txt>; rel="describedby"`.
