Also, briefly looking at coracle source I see there is a setting to whether reply to AUTH automatically or not but it seems I’m missing it in settings

Go to https://coracle.social/settings
There's a authenticate to relays option
Wow, I looked there 3 times and I first seen it in source code but only was able to see it in UI after your post 😂 thanks!
However, this setting seem to have no effect and it does not persist through reloads in any browser: safari, ff, chrome on mac
