 - Do not copy, paraphrase, or invent the CLI's detailed semantic check prompts in advance. Read them from {{AGENT_CHECKS_PATH}} so the check versions you record match the prompts you followed.

-- Shopify CLI sends its standard usage telemetry when these commands run, including the number of findings. It doesn't send source code, finding details, or App Security artifacts. Users can opt out of Shopify CLI telemetry by setting `SHOPIFY_CLI_NO_ANALYTICS=1`. Do not invoke telemetry helpers or hooks yourself.

 Route authentication retains a template-oriented heuristic. Calls using `context.shopify.authenticate.admin(...)` are deferred to the `UNAUTHENTICATED_ENDPOINT` agent review, with unresolved coverage rather than a missing-auth finding or a pass. The heuristic does not establish binding provenance, control-flow safety, or tenant/object authorization.
