    Captures documented facts the published contract omits — the DSL body, the
    version aliases, the published technical limits, the error statuses, and the
    absence of rate-limit headers. Nothing here is invented. The original OpenAPI
    is never mutated.

      Executes a Dimensions Search Language query. The request body is a raw DSL
      string, not JSON. The response is a JSON object keyed by the queried source
      plus a `_stats` block carrying `total_count`. /dsl and /dsl.json are aliases
      for the current major version; /dsl/v1 was removed in March 2022.
