- #98599: \`authserv_id\` defaults to empty, contradicting the comment above it — header-injection defense is silently off by default

The authserv_id configuration option defaults to empty rather than the documented From-domain value, silently disabling header-injection defense. These members track the bug report and subsequent fix attempts to correct the default behavior.

## TL;DR

- 4 member(s): 1 open issue(s), 0 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 2 PR(s) closed without merging.
