  description: 'Record the runtime semantics documented at docs.celestia.org but absent from the contract:
    token issuance and non-revocability, the hard request-body cap, and the fact that no write on this
    API is reversible.'

  description: 'Annotate the default endpoint. The host is genuinely localhost: the Celestia Node API
    is served by a node the consumer runs, and there is no vendor-hosted base URL to substitute.'

  description: Add the transport-level failure responses the provider documents in prose but omits from
    the contract. The OpenRPC declares zero errors[] entries across all 80 methods.
  update:
    '401':
      description: Missing or invalid bearer token, or a token minted below the auth level this method
        requires.
    '413':
      description: Request body exceeds the 16 MiB server cap introduced in celestia-node v0.31.3.
    '429':
      description: Per-IP rate limit exceeded. Returned only when the node operator has enabled [RPC.RateLimit];
        no RateLimit-* or Retry-After headers are sent.
- target: $.paths['/'].post
  description: Record that a well-formed JSON-RPC call returns HTTP 200 even when it fails, with the failure
    in the body.
