var/check_mk/wato/auth/auth.php is a file generated dynamically by Checkmk at
runtime to handle NagVis Multisite Authorization. It was previously also present
as an empty placeholder in the OMD site skeleton.
Because the file content is generated dynamically, it never matched the empty
skeleton version, causing omd diff to report a spurious modification on every
fresh or updated site. This was confusing and made it harder to detect actual
configuration drift.
The empty skeleton file has been removed and auth.php is now excluded from
omd diff tracking, consistent with other dynamically generated files. The file
itself continues to be generated and used as before — this change only affects
how omd diff reports it.
