  description: Record what this pipeline changed relative to the provider-served documents.
  update:
    x-apievangelist-enhancements:
    - Assembled 40 single-operation Swagger 2.0 documents into one OpenAPI 3.0.3 document (paths, components.schemas,
      components.securitySchemes union).
    - 'Rewrote #/definitions/ $refs to #/components/schemas/.'
    - 'Converted swagger securityDefinitions (flow: accessCode) to OpenAPI 3 securitySchemes (flows.authorizationCode).'
    - Assigned a unique operationId per operation. Aetna sets every operationId to the literal string "GET",
      which cannot survive a merge.
    - Moved response schema + examples under content[mediaType] using the source document's produces list.
    - Stamped x-source-file on every operation so each one resolves back to its unmodified original in openapi/_original/.
    x-apievangelist-not-changed:
    - No summary, description, parameter, schema, example, security requirement or server URL was authored,
      reworded or invented. Every one is Aetna's.
