A convenient trick to the solve the problem of

> I need to host a static file at `/path`

is to use a Permalink to redirect that path somewhere else. However, Permalinks do not work for anons on login-required sites.

I propose special-casing `/.well-known/` Permalink paths to always return the redirect regardless of site settings that might otherwise prevent it, e.g. `login-required`.
