  note: >-
    Captures what API Evangelist added to the refined document, so the provider's own contract
    stays untouched and every enhancement is auditable. The operationIds added by this pass
    are NOT ours — they are the provider's own, harvested verbatim from the live Swagger 2.0
    at https://apps.fas.usda.gov/opendata/swagger/docs/v1 and carried across by path+method
    match. Nothing in this overlay invents contract content.

      x-agent-notes: >-
        Read-only surface: every operation is a GET, so there is no idempotency, dry-run or
        reversal contract to honour. Authenticate with a free key in the API_KEY header. There
        is no pagination and no query parameter of any kind — the path is the query. Errors
        are not RFC 9457: a missing key returns 403 with the bare JSON string "Bad API Key",
        and an invalid key returns 500, so do not treat a 500 here as retryable without first
        checking the credential.
