+
+This code defines a GET endpoint at `/auth` using the `@router.get` decorator. The `authenticate_user` function handles the authentication logic. In this example, the authentication logic is not implemented, and the `is_authenticated` variable is set to `False`. You should replace this with your actual authentication logic.
+
+If the user is not authenticated, it raises an `HTTPException` with a 401 Unauthorized status code. If the user is authenticated, it returns a JSON response with the required fields, including `"method": "GET"` and `"_verb": "get"`, as well as a dummy JWT token.
+
+Note that this is a basic example, and you should implement proper authentication mechanisms, such as checking credentials against a database or using an authentication provider, in a real-world application.
