    Enhancements API Evangelist adds on top of openapi/edmunds-vehicle-api-openapi.yml.
    That spec is itself a per-tag split of openapi/_original/edmunds-openapi.yml, which the
    repository history records as "a best-effort OpenAPI 3.1 spec generated from
    documentation" — it was written from the Edmunds developer portal, not fetched from
    Edmunds. Both the provenance correction and these enhancements are expressed here rather
    than by editing either file.

        note: >-
          Edmunds publishes no OpenAPI for the Vehicle API. Every path and parameter here
          was transcribed from Edmunds' own published examples and endpoint tables. It is a
          faithful reading of the documentation, not a document Edmunds serves, and it
          covers a small fraction of the documented surface.
        coverage: >-
          5 of the roughly 20 documented Vehicle API resources; the Editorial, Dealer and
          Media APIs are not represented at all.
        access: >-
          Gated. Returns HTTP 401 "Developer Inactive" without a partner-issued key.

        504 with a fixed {status, errorType, message, moreInfoUrl} envelope — see
