    API Evangelist enrichment of openapi/lawmatics-openapi.yml. The base document is itself derived
    from the Postman collection Lawmatics publishes at https://docs.lawmatics.com/ - this overlay
    carries only API Evangelist annotations and applies none of them to the harvested source.

    update:
      x-apievangelist-warnings:
        - Access tokens never expire and there is no revocation or deauthorization endpoint.
        - No scopes - an authorized app holds full CRUD over the entire firm account.
        - No refresh tokens are issued.
        - Developer settings must be enabled on the account by Lawmatics support before an app can be created.
  - target: $.paths['/v1/prospects']
    description: Record the product-to-API naming mismatch on the API's central resource.
    update:
      x-apievangelist-note: >-
        /v1/prospects is the MATTER endpoint. Lawmatics calls these Matters throughout the product and
        the help centre, but the API type, path and path parameter are all `prospect` /
        `prospect_id`. This is the most common source of confusion on a first integration.
  - target: $.paths['/v1/forms/{custom_form_uuid}/submit']
    description: Flag the one unauthenticated write path on the API.
    update:
      x-apievangelist-note: >-
        The only unauthenticated operation on the API. Public custom-form submission accepts either
        multipart/form-data or JSON and requires no developer app or access token; the form UUID is
        the only credential. Treat the UUID as a semi-secret and expect unsolicited traffic.
