[webauthn] Ambiguous reference to [=success=] (#2368)

emlun has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:

== Ambiguous reference to [=success=] ==
As of commit 3acdcc3806a808ff46c94b051eb83d12b9b71caf on 2025-12-04 with fresh `bikeshed update`, Bikeshed emits the following lint:

```
LINE 7998:12: Multiple possible 'success' dfn refs.
Arbitrarily chose https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/#success
To auto-select one of the following refs, insert one of these lines into a <pre class=link-defaults> block:

[=success=]
```

The intent is to link to https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/#dfn-success , but the reference is now ambiguous and can also refer to https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/#success (which is the one Bikeshed picked in this case).


## Proposed Change

Add `spec:webdriver2; type:dfn; text:success` to `<pre class="link-defaults">`, or [disambiguate the autolinks](https://speced.github.io/bikeshed/#autolink-manual) with a `spec` attribute: `<a spec="webdriver2">success</a>`.
