  Brandfetch documentation. This overlay records API Evangelist's enhancements only; the
  harvested spec in openapi/ and openapi/_original/ is never mutated.

  - target: $.info
    description: >-
      The spec declares info.version 1.0.0 while every path is under /v2. Record the URI
      version explicitly so consumers do not confuse the two.
    update:
      x-api-version: v2
      x-versioning-scheme: uri-path

  - target: $.servers
    description: Record the sibling hosts that are part of the product but absent from servers[].
    update:
      x-apievangelist-related-hosts:
        - {host: 'https://cdn.brandfetch.io', surface: 'Logo API (CDN URL contract, no REST representation)'}
        - {host: 'https://mcp.brandfetch.io/mcp', surface: 'MCP server (OAuth)'}
        - {host: 'https://graphql.brandfetch.io', surface: 'GraphQL account plane (Enterprise)'}
        - {host: 'https://developers.brandfetch.com', surface: 'Developer dashboard + OAuth authorization server'}

  - target: $.components.securitySchemes
    description: >-
      The spec declares only bearerAuth. Record the Client ID credential used by the Logo
      API and Brand Search API, which appears in the spec as a bare query parameter.
    update:
      x-apievangelist-clientId:
        type: apiKey
        in: query
        name: c
        description: >-
          Public, embeddable Client ID used by the Logo API and Brand Search API. Not a
          secret — it appears in the src of a public <img> tag and scopes fair-use rate
          limiting rather than authorization.

  - target: $.components.schemas.ErrorResponse
    description: Record the real error envelope semantics — the spec's enum placeholder is not informative.
    update:
      x-error-format: proprietary
      x-rfc9457: false
      x-note: >-
        Single `message` string, no machine-readable code. Message values are declared per
        operation as single-value enums and are stable enough to match on. See
        errors/brand-api-problem-types.yml.

  - target: $.paths['/v2/brands/{identifier}'].get
    description: >-
      Mark the auto-detect route as legacy. Brandfetch's December 2025 changelog introduced
      explicit type routes and recommends them; the docs label this one "Auto-detection
      (legacy)" but the spec carries no deprecated flag.
    update:
      x-apievangelist-legacy: true
      x-apievangelist-superseded-by:
        - getBrandDataByDomain
        - getBrandDataByTicker
        - getBrandDataByIsin
        - getBrandDataByCrypto
      x-apievangelist-note: >-
        Resolves identifiers in the order domain -> ticker -> ISIN -> crypto and can
        mis-classify a ticker that looks like a domain.

  - target: $.paths['/v2/brands/transaction'].post
    description: Record the commercial gate and the idempotency posture of the only non-GET operation.
    update:
      x-apievangelist-tier: enterprise
      x-apievangelist-idempotent: true
      x-apievangelist-note: >-
        POST is used for request-body ergonomics, not mutation — it creates no resource and
        returns the same merchant for the same descriptor, so retrying is safe.

  - target: $.paths['/v2/context/{domain}'].get
    update:
      x-apievangelist-content-negotiation: [application/json, text/markdown]
      x-apievangelist-note: >-
        cachedOnly=true returns 204 with an empty body when no context is cached; a client
        that assumes a JSON body will break.

  - target: $.paths['/v2/viewer'].get
    update:
      x-apievangelist-credential-introspection: true
      x-apievangelist-note: 'Zero-cost credential validation — 200 valid, 401 missing/unknown, 403 revoked.'
