  "finding": "Linear publishes a per-endpoint protected-resource metadata document, and the read-only endpoint's document names exactly one scope, read, where the read-write endpoint's names two. The document is correct about the endpoint it describes and it is the document the endpoint's own 401 challenge points at. It is also, on this day, the only one of the two machine-readable statements about that endpoint that matches the vendor's documentation: the challenge header measured in the same run names scope read and write. A client that resolves resource_metadata before asking for scopes reads the right answer here; one that trusts the challenge parameter does not.",
