The core problem is the `boneyard-js` CLI crawler's inability to access authentication-protected routes, leading to incorrect skeleton generation. The proposed solution involves adding mechanisms to pass authentication context (cookies, session headers) to the Chromium session.

The tool aims to be usable for "any dashboard or internal tool where every route requires auth." This implies a positioning towards enterprise or internal application development where authentication is standard. The proposed API options (cookie file, auth headers, config file) suggest a focus on developer flexibility and integration with existing auth patterns (JWT, session tokens, OAuth).

This issue highlights a critical functional gap for `boneyard-js`: its inability to operate within authenticated environments. The current implementation renders the tool "effectively unusable for any dashboard or internal tool," a significant market segment for skeleton loading frameworks. Devel...
