Motivation

A user reported confusion about the custom verifier flow — specifically that Arcade's redirect to their /auth/verify endpoint didn't include any cookies or user identity. The root cause was a misunderstanding of the verification model: Arcade only sends a flow_id, and the verifier is responsible for independently identifying the user from its own session.

The existing docs explain the steps correctly, but having a runnable reference implementation linked directly from the guide would help users understand the pattern faster — either by reading the code, running it locally, or handing it to a coding agent to adapt.

Add an info callout to the "Secure Auth in Production" guide pointing
readers to the custom-user-verifier demo repo as a working example
they can run locally or hand to a coding agent.

@nbarbettini @wdawson I'm tagging you here since you previously expressed concerns about this demo custom user verifier server. I think it's valuable as a reference implementation. People can clone it locally, point their coding agent to understand the pattern, and then ask to implement in their own system. But let me know if you guys think it's not appropriate to advertise it in our docs.

Add a link to the build-custom-user-verifier agent skill hosted in
ArcadeAI/agent-skills, giving coding agents an LLM-friendly reference
for implementing the verification flow.

I don't think we should point to an insecure demo, even if we call it that! People are going to look at this for inspiration and not understand how to fix it to be secure.

Will let @nbarbettini chime in too, but I have concerns with it.
