Implement Web Bot Auth

Use Web Bot Auth so your site can identify itself when it sends bot or agent requests, per the [IETF WebBotAuth WG](https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/webbotauth/about/).

Requirements

• Publish a JWKS (JSON Web Key Set) at `/.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory`
• The JWKS must contain at least one public key for signature verification
• Sign requests sent by your bot or agent so receiving sites can verify them
• Include `Signature-Agent` and `Signature-Input` headers on those signed requests

Cloudflare

[Web Bot Auth on Cloudflare](https://developers.cloudflare.com/bots/reference/bot-verification/web-bot-auth/) provides built-in support for verifying bot request signatures.
