A /humans.txt file signals the site is maintained by real humans (team, contact, stack). It's a low-weight but well-known trust signal — a reasonable fit for the Trust & Authority pillar.
Scope
Add a new scoring check that:
- Fetches
/humans.txt alongside the other root-level files
- Returns a binary pass/fail (or a small partial-credit tier if the file is non-empty and structured)
- Weights low (1-2% of the pillar) so it's a nice-to-have, not a score driver
Where to add it
Scoring logic lives in packages/core/src/scorer/. The pillars/dimensions are defined in packages/core/src/scorer/dimensions.ts. Look at how an existing small check like `ai.txt` is wired — humans.txt will mirror its shape.
Acceptance
Good first issue because it's a well-scoped single-file change with clear reference patterns. ~1-2 hours.
