  note: Reassembled verbatim from the 69 per-operation OpenAPI 3.1.0 YAML documents KarmaCheck publishes inside the markdown twins of its public API reference (https://developer.karmacheck.com/api-reference/<op>.md). Each page embeds a complete, single-operation slice of KarmaCheck's own openapi.json; the 69 slices merged with ZERO conflicting definitions. No content was authored, inferred, or padded by API Evangelist. KarmaCheck's consolidated export at https://developer.karmacheck.com/background-check-api/api-reference/openapi.json is login-gated (HTTP 302 to /login), so this reassembly is the only machine-readable form of the contract reachable without credentials.
