note: 'Every /.well-known/ path probed on the single production host returned HTTP 403 from the

  provider''s own firewall interstitial ("403 Forbidden / Access Denied / Firewall Protection"),

  not a document. The first request of the run (/openapi.json) returned a genuine HTTP 404 site

  page, after which the edge escalated to 403 for every subsequent path and then to connection

  timeouts. A second, unrelated egress (datacenter IP range) was refused at the TCP layer

  (ECONNREFUSED to 159.65.41.138:443) on its very first request, which shows the block is a

  standing edge policy against non-browser clients rather than a reaction to this run''s request

  rate alone.


  NO WellKnown / SecurityTxt / APICatalog pointer is emitted from this file. Not one path

  returned a 200 carrying a real document, so asserting that the provider serves a well-known

  discovery surface would be false credit. A recorded absence is the finding.'

  note: Rewritten into hosts[] -> documents[], the only shape well_known_docs() in score.rb reads. A served
    .well-known surface recorded in any other shape scores as absent.
