Vercel Eve default OIDC triggers 401s
A developer attempting to connect a custom Next.js frontend to a Vercel Eve agent encountered 401 Unauthorized errors on the `/eve/v1/session` endpoint. This issue occurs because the framework enforces OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication by default, blocking external client-side calls unless developers explicitly configure auth overrides (such as Clerk, Auth.js, or basic auth) in the agent's channel configuration.
