The ingest endpoint is intentionally unauthenticated: it accepts telemetry from peers of both cloud and self-hosted deployments, and for a self-hosted peer there is no shared trust anchor to authenticate against. The X-Peer-ID header is a correlation tag whose format check exists to bound InfluxDB tag cardinality. Both the function name (validateAuth) and the 401 response implied an authentication control that was never there, which invites the reading that the check can be bypassed. Rename it to validatePeerIDFormat and return 400, matching the other input validation failures in the same handler. Document the intent in the godoc and the infra README. No behavioural change for clients: push.go classifies responses by 2xx range rather than by status code, so 400 and 401 are handled identically.
