  description: 'Conceptual OpenAPI representing the Encore Cloud control surface — applications,

    environments, deployments, infrastructure resources, secrets, and trace queries —

    as observed through the `encore` CLI and the dashboard at app.encore.cloud. Encore

    does not publish a customer-facing REST schema, so this profile captures the

    documented platform shape rather than a hosted endpoint list.
