…issing Requests with a missing or empty User-Agent header are immediately assigned a bot score of 1 by the Heuristics engine. This is expected behavior and a common false-positive trigger for Zero Trust / WARP / corporate proxy traffic that strips the header. Closes DEE-3691

What
Added a note to the
Notes on detectionsection of the Bot scores concept page explaining that requests with a missing or emptyUser-Agentheader are immediately assigned a bot score of 1 by the Heuristics engine.Why
It is a common false-positive trigger for Zero Trust / WARP / corporate proxy environments that strip the
User-Agentheader, causing TSEs to escalate to engineering unnecessarily.Changes
