This might be kinda obvious, but didn't seem to be spelt out anywhere.

is this really a check on the auth_events or is it a check on the event being inspected?

I don't understand the question. It's a check on the m.room.create event which is referred to in the auth_events of the event being inspected.

shouldn't the server be using the m.room.create event from the room rather than auth_events though? It feels more understandable to move this point back up a level rather than nest it unmodified into the auth_events checks.

possibly, but that seems to be a change to its meaning. Currently we have:
- If event does not have a
m.room.createin itsauth_events, reject. - If the create event...
It's not entirely clear which create event it is talking about in 4, but given the context from 3, surely it's the one from the auth_events.
This is all related to #1136.

hrrrm, actually, looking at the source to Synapse, it does appear to apply the test to the create event in the room state, so I guess that's an argument that we should make that explicit.

we might want to clarify which room state (at or before the event in question?), though hopefully for the create event it doesn't matter.

well, it's the same state that all the other auth rules refer to. Per https://spec.matrix.org/v1.3/server-server-api/#checks-performed-on-receipt-of-a-pdu, we actually check them at three different states.
I agree all this could be clarified, but I don't think it's the job of this PR.
