note: >-
  Sight Machine has a real streaming/event surface, but it is neither an AsyncAPI document
  nor a webhook catalog, so no AsyncAPI or Webhooks pointer is emitted. The surface is
  FactoryTX, the edge data layer: it consumes events from plant systems and can re-publish
  records to a broker the CUSTOMER owns. Because the broker, topic and payload shape are
  all set in customer configuration rather than published by Sight Machine, there is no
  provider-side channel catalog to capture — recording one would be fabrication.

gaps:
- No AsyncAPI document is published for any of these channels.
- No HTTP webhook/callback surface is documented anywhere in the 281-page docs index.
- Topics are customer-defined, so there is no canonical topic namespace to conform against.
