description: CORRECTION. The refined spec declares https://eapics.ibx.com/formulary/v1/fhir, but the
provider's own published Swagger (https://www.ibx.com/scripts/custom/swagger/cmsSwagger.json, info.description)
states the base URL for this API is https://eapics.ibx.com/provider/v1/fhir, and openapi/_original/
carries that value. The refine pass propagated the formulary server block onto all three specs. Applying
this overlay restores the provider-documented host.
