Fetch Receipt Processor (Reference Specification)

A two-operation OpenAPI 3.0.3 document Fetch publishes in its public GitHub organization as the specification for its engineering take-home exercise: submit a receipt for processing and retrieve the points awarded for that receipt. It is a reference contract, not a hosted production service - the document declares no servers, no security schemes and no operationIds, and Fetch exposes no public endpoint implementing it. It is captured here because it is the only machine-readable contract Fetch publishes, and it faithfully describes the shape of the receipt and line-item data at the core of the Fetch product.
