Pull request overview
Updates the developer documentation for Internet Identity (II) alternative frontend origins to reflect the increased maximum number of entries in /.well-known/ii-alternative-origins.
Changes:
- Update the stated maximum alternative origins limit from 10 to 100 in the “Constraints” section.
- Update the stated maximum limit from 10 to 100 in the
ii-alternative-origins“Requirements” list.

docs/building-apps/authentication/alternative-origins.mdx:65
- Same as above: this requirement line reads like current runtime behavior, but the PR description notes that older Internet Identity deployments still enforce 10. Adding a short note here helps prevent confusion when developers try >10 entries before the rollout lands everywhere.
* Maximum of **100** alternative origins can be listed.

The page stated the 100-origin limit as current behavior, but Internet Identity deployments that predate the increase still enforce 10. Drop the "Currently" framing and say which deployments the old limit applies to, in both places that state the maximum.

Requested in review. Both statements of the maximum go back to naming the limit alone. The "Currently" framing stays dropped, so neither line asserts the limit as present behavior on every deployment.

Internet Identity is raising the cap on entries in
/.well-known/ii-alternative-originsfrom 10 to 100 (dfinity/internet-identity#4261). This updates the developer docs to match.Both statements of the old limit in the alternative frontend origins guide are updated:
docs/building-apps/authentication/alternative-origins.mdx— the "Constraints" section and the "Requirements" bullet under theii-alternative-originsexample.No other page needed changing.
docs/references/ii-spec.mdis a pointer tosubmodules/internetidentity/docs/ii-spec.mdx, so the spec page picks up the new limit from the Internet Identity repo when that submodule advances. The other "10" occurrences in the docs (cycles-wallet.mdx,ic-interface-spec.md) are about canister controllers and unrelated limits.This should land together with, or after, the Internet Identity change — until that ships, listing more than 10 origins is still rejected.
