notes: >-
  Sofar publishes no AsyncAPI document. It does document a webhook ("Data
  Forwarding") surface: you register delivery endpoint URLs in the Spotter
  Dashboard, and Sofar sends an HTTP POST to each endpoint whenever one of your
  Spotters generates new data. The POST body varies by the Spotter's operating
  mode. This artifact captures that webhook catalog.
