  Derived from the harvested provider spec plus the artifacts in this repo. The original

      Found via <link rel="service-desc" type="application/yaml"> on
      https://docs.confluent.io/cloud/current/api.html — the API host root
      (api.confluent.cloud) 404s /openapi.json, /openapi.yaml, /swagger.json and
      /api-docs, so the docs host is the only place this contract is published.

  update:
    x-idempotency:
      coverage: none
      note: >-
        No Idempotency-Key header or equivalent exists on this API. Kafka's idempotent
        producer is a protocol feature and does not make an HTTP write replay-safe.

      reset_units: relative-seconds
      reset_warning: >-
        X-RateLimit-Reset is relative seconds, NOT a UTC epoch, deliberately unlike the
        GitHub header of the same name.
