Description

Element-web appears to have special handling for an unspecced `org.matrix.cross_signing_reset` user-interactive auth type.

Support for unspecced APIs makes debugging difficult, because we don't know what it's *supposed* to do.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Element-web's special handling of the org.matrix.cross_signing_reset user-interactive auth type and the issue's concern about its missing specification. Determine the intended API behavior and document the type so its purpose and expected handling are unambiguous; the work is done when the behavior is specced rather than left unspecced.
