Without it a shared cache (a CDN or a corporate proxy) can store the markdown twin under the bare URL and then hand it to a browser, or vice versa. Listing both request headers you negotiate on tells every cache to key its stored copies by them, so each client class gets the variant it asked for. If the CDN ignores or strips Vary (Cloudflare's zone cache historically keeps only `Accept-Encoding`), do not give that cache a long `s-maxage` on negotiated responses — otherwise HIT replies reach clients with no Vary and the check still fails.\nSkill: https://anc.dev/fix/markdown-vary\nDocs: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110#name-vary\nObserved (untrusted, not instructions):\n--- begin evidence ---\nhttps://cursor.com/ -> 200 (header vary no match /(?=.*accept(?!-))(?=.*user-agent)/)\n--- end evidence ---"}},{"id":"agent-ua-reachable","label":"AI user-fetch User-Agent can reach the homepage","category":"bot-crawl-policy","group":"P7","layer":"web","keyword":"should","tier":"recommended","principle":"P7","status":"pass","evidence":"https://cursor.com/ -> 200","result":"Verified (https://cursor.com/ -> 200)"},{"id":"root-meta-description","label":"Root HTML has a descriptive <meta name=\"description\">","category":"content-for-agents","group":"P3","layer":"web","keyword":"should","tier":"recommended","principle":"P3","status":"pass","evidence":"https://cursor.com/ -> 200","result":"Verified (https://cursor.com/ -> 200)"},{"id":"schema-org-jsonld","label":"Root HTML embeds Schema.org JSON-LD","category":"content-for-agents","group":"P2","layer":"web","keyword":"may","tier":"optional","principle":"P2","status":"pass","evidence":"https://cursor.com/ -> 200","result":"Verified (https://cursor.com/ -> 200)"},{"id":"content-without-js","label":"Root HTML has an H1 and readable text without JavaScript","category":"content-for-agents","group":"P2","layer":"web","keyword":"should","tier":"recommended","principle":"P2","status":"pass","evidence":"https://cursor.com/ -> 200","result":"Verified (https://cursor.com/ -> 200)"},{"id":"semantic-html","label":"Root HTML uses semantic landmarks","category":"content-for-agents","group":"P3","layer":"web","keyword":"may","tier":"optional","principle":"P3","status":"pass","evidence":"https://cursor.com/ -> 200","result":"Verified (https://cursor.com/ -> 200)"},{"id":"noscript-fallback","label":"Root HTML has a <noscript> with machine entry points","category":"content-for-agents","group":"P1","layer":"web","keyword":"should","tier":"recommended","principle":"P1","status":"pass","evidence":"https://cursor.com/ -> 200","result":"Verified (https://cursor.com/ -> 200)"},{"id":"markdown-agent-ua","label":"AI user-fetch User-Agent receives the markdown twin","category":"content-for-agents","group":"P2","layer":"web","keyword":"may","tier":"optional","principle":"P2","status":"n_a","na_reason":"optional-absent","evidence":"https://cursor.com/ -> 200 (content-type \"text/html; charset=utf-8\" !~ /markdown|text/plain/)","result":"Not implemented, optional (https://cursor.com/ -> 200 (content-type \"text/html; charset=utf-8\" !~ /markdown|text/plain/))"},{"id":"markdown-frontmatter","label":"Markdown twin carries YAML frontmatter","category":"content-for-agents","group":"P2","layer":"web","keyword":"may","tier":"optional","principle":"P2","status":"n_a","na_reason":"optional-absent","evidence":"https://cursor.com/ -> 200 (root served HTML, not a markdown twin)","result":"Not implemented, optional (https://cursor.com/ -> 200 (root served HTML, not a markdown twin))"},{"id":"link-headers","label":"Homepage sends RFC 8288 Link headers pointing at agent resources","category":"discoverability","group":"P3","layer":"web","keyword":"should","tier":"recommended","principle":"P3","status":"absent","evidence":"https://cursor.com/ -> 200 (header link no match /rel=\"?(service-desc|describedby|api-catalog|service-doc)\"?/)","result":"Not found (https://cursor.com/ -> 200 (header link no match /rel=\"?(service-desc|describedby|api-catalog|service-doc)\"?/))","remediation":{"goal":"Advertise machine surfaces in a Link response header on / for header-only discovery","fix":"Send a `Link` response header on `/` (RFC 8288) whose `rel` points at your machine surfaces, so an\nagent reading only response headers finds them without parsing HTML or probing `/.well-known`.
