← issuesAgents incorrectly prepend /v1/ to API paths, hitting auth wall open

An external agent tried to use the API and prepended /v1/ to all paths (e.g. /v1/agents/register instead of /agents/register). Since /v1/* falls through to the authenticated catch-all route, they got 401 on registration endpoints that should be public. This is a common pattern agents assume from other APIs. Fixed by adding explicit note in llms.txt and improving error handling for unknown paths.
