AUTH_UNAVAILABLE

HTTP 503

The deployment is unable to serve this right now

The authentication store is not available on this deployment, so authenticated surfaces fail closed.

How to fix it (contract guidance)

Stop and report; no credential will work until the operator restores auth.

Observed recovery

Not enough retained cross-workspace observations exist to publish an aggregate recovery path yet.

Publication requires at least 3 distinct workspaces. This is withheld data, not evidence that no recovery happened.
