Carrier Lynx Container API

Telemetry surface for Carrier-managed marine and intermodal refrigerated containers, published as a separate contract with its own data model. Three operations: the container Unified Model property and alarm definitions, latest source data, and container asset history. Shares the x-lynx-api-key authentication, the error envelope and the monthly call quota with the fleet API, but shares none of its schemas.
