- target: $.components.securitySchemes.apiKey
  description: Flag that the API key travels in the query string, and is therefore logged in transit.
  update:
    x-credential-exposure: query-string
    x-credential-note: >-
      The key is placed in the request URL and is consequently recorded by proxies, CDN access
      logs and browser history. No scope model, no documented rotation or revocation flow.

- target: $.components.schemas.ErrorResponse
  description: Record the divergence between the declared error schema and the shape the live API returns.
  update:
    x-observed-envelope:
      errorCode: string
      errorMessage: string
    x-observed-example: '{"errorCode":"403", "errorMessage":"We were unable to locate your API Key."}'
    x-divergence: >-
      The spec declares {status,error,message} and declares 401 for auth failure; the live API
      returns 403 with {errorCode,errorMessage}. Clients branching on 401 or on an integer
      status field will not match. Probed 2026-08-27.

- target: $.paths.*.get
  description: Mark every published operation as read-only and safe for autonomous agent execution.

- target: $.paths.*.get.responses
  description: Add the 403 the API actually returns for auth failure and quota exhaustion.
  update:
    '403':
      description: >-
        Invalid API key OR call limit exceeded (5 req/sec or 50,000 req/day). Best Buy overloads
        this status across both conditions and sends no Retry-After header.
