x-note: >-
  Captures API Evangelist enhancements to the harvested Lightup OpenAPI without mutating
  the original. The upstream description declares no components.securitySchemes (auth
  is modelled as a plain `authorization` header parameter), no components.schemas,
  no operationIds, and no 4xx/5xx responses. This overlay adds a bearer securityScheme
  and applies it, records the auth/convention documentation links, and flags the gaps
  for a follow-up with the provider. It deliberately does not invent operationIds,
  schemas or error responses.
