x-note: >-
  Overlay of API Evangelist enrichment on top of the DERIVED Colossal Biosciences content
  OpenAPI. The base document is itself derived mechanically from the live WordPress route
  index at https://colossal.com/wp-json/ — Colossal Biosciences publishes no OpenAPI. This
  overlay adds only API Evangelist annotations (artifact cross-links, provenance markers,
  agent-facing hints observed on live responses); it changes no path, method, parameter or
  schema harvested from the provider. Nothing here is a claim by Colossal Biosciences.

    Record the collection pagination contract observed on live responses. The base spec
