cliffhall d68202a88b docs(spec): add V2 Auth landing page and canonicalize spec top menus (closes #1605)
Add a specification/v2_auth.md landing page summarizing the four auth specs
(EMA / XAA, Hardening, Mid-session, Smoke testing) with a section submenu,
mirroring the V2 UX index pattern.

Add a V2 Auth link (after V2 UX) and a V2 New Spec Impact link to every spec
page's top menu so the top-level nav is uniform, and restructure the four
v2_auth_*.md pages onto the shared two-tier menu (top menu + auth submenu).

Docs only.

Motivation and Context

The existing Inspector is hard to maintain for a number of reasons. We decided to create a more maintainable Inspector from the ground up, that retains the deterministic boundary of operation, but exposes a plugin architecture.

Track Protocol Conformance

  • Identify any gaps in V1 inspector
  • Track which features are covered
  • Implement to parity and fill gaps
  • Provide conformance testing in CI

Improve Maintainability

  • Clearer separation of concerns
  • Smaller, reusable components

Provide Extensibility

  • Plugin SDK / API
  • Third parties cand develop/maintain their own plugins for features such as
    • LLM usage
    • Evals
    • Multiple server connections
    • Apps playground
    • Testing of registry configuration
    • Interface with registry

Proper Documentation

  • One big README won't cut it anymore
  • Published documentation in MDX should
    • Render in style of spec
    • Kept up to date
    • Cover all features
    • Discuss troubleshooting strategies
    • Provide detailed contribution guidance that explains architecture and expected idioms
