Non-destructive Overlay 1.0.0 capturing API Evangelist enrichment of the kpack Swagger 2.0
document. The original file is stored verbatim and is never mutated. Everything asserted here is
either read off the original document or cited to a buildpacks.io / github.com/buildpacks source.

description: >-
kpack is the Kubernetes-native Cloud Native Buildpacks build service, maintained in the
buildpacks-community GitHub organization alongside the CNCF Cloud Native Buildpacks project.
This document describes the kpack.io/v1alpha1 CustomResourceDefinition API served by the
operator's own Kubernetes API server; there is no buildpacks.io-hosted endpoint.

description: Record the contract gaps measured against the served API.
update:
x-contract-gaps:
- id: no-security-definitions
detail: >-
The document declares no securityDefinitions, yet all 67 operations declare a 401
Unauthorized response. Authentication is real and is enforced by the Kubernetes API server;
it is simply not modelled. See authentication/buildpacks-authentication.yml.
- id: v1alpha2-schemas-without-paths
detail: >-
definitions carries both kpack.build.v1alpha1.* and kpack.build.v1alpha2.* schemas, but
every path is rooted at /apis/kpack.io/v1alpha1/. Buildpack, ClusterBuildpack,
ClusterLifecycle and the Cosign/cache types exist as schemas with no operations.
- id: undocumented-error-responses
detail: >-
Only 200/201/401 are modelled. 403, 404, 409 and 422 are all reachable and all absent.
See errors/buildpacks-problem-types.yml.
- id: dry-run-not-declared
detail: >-
The Kubernetes dryRun=All query parameter works against these endpoints but is not declared,
so an agent reading only this contract cannot discover rehearsal.

description: >-
Every operation in the source document is tagged only `kpack`. Record that flat tagging as a
finding rather than re-tagging the provider's contract.
update:
x-tagging-note: >-
All 68 operations carry the single tag `kpack`, so the contract offers no resource grouping.
Grouping by resource (Image, Build, Builder, ClusterBuilder, ClusterStack, ClusterStore,
SourceResolver) has to be inferred from the path.
