  update:
    x-agentic-readiness:
      idempotency: none — no idempotency key anywhere in 566 mutating operations
      reversibility: documented — reversal operations exist, no windows are published
      rate_limit_signal: X-Request-Cost / X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, 429 on exhaustion
      error_catalog: not published by the provider
      source: conventions/canvas-conventions.yml
- target: $.servers
  update:
    x-note: Canvas is multi-tenant and self-hostable. canvas.instructure.com is Instructure's own Free-for-Teacher
      instance, not "the" Canvas host — every institution runs its own, plus a .beta and .test sibling. Always parameterise
      the host.
- target: $.paths.*.*[?(@.deprecated == true)]
  update:
    x-deprecation-source: Instructure declares deprecation per operation in the first-party Swagger 1.2 (`deprecated`
      + `deprecation_description`); it emits no RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation headers.
