  note: >-
    Non-destructive. The harvested Microsoft contract is never mutated; this overlay records what the
    API Evangelist enrichment pass learned that the contract does not state. Three classes of
    enhancement: (1) the product-level retirement, which the contract is silent about while the
    pricing page and the Front Door comparison page both publish a hard 2027-09-30 date; (2) the
    runtime semantics an agent needs — throttling headers, long-running-operation polling, the ARM
    error envelope — none of which appear in the spec; (3) reversibility and idempotency facts derived
    per operation.

- target: $.paths.*.*[?(@.x-ms-long-running-operation == true)]
  description: Flag every long-running operation so a client does not treat 202 as completion.
  update:
    x-agent-note: >-
      Long-running. Returns 202 with an Azure-AsyncOperation or Location header; poll to a terminal
      state (Succeeded, Failed, Canceled) before assuming the resource exists or changed.
    x-completion: poll
- target: $.paths['/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Cdn/profiles/{profileName}'].delete
  description: Mark the cascade delete as irreversible.
  update:
    x-reversible: false
    x-consequence: destructive-cascade
    x-agent-note: >-
      Deletes every endpoint, origin and custom domain under the profile. No restore, undelete or
      soft-delete operation exists anywhere in this contract and no retention window is published.
- target: $.paths['/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Cdn/profiles/{profileName}/migrationAbort'].post
  description: Record the reversal window for the migration surface.
  update:
    x-reverses: Profiles_Migrate
    x-reversal-window: before Profiles_MigrationCommit
    x-reversal-grade: verified
- target: $.paths['/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}/resourceGroups/{resourceGroupName}/providers/Microsoft.Cdn/profiles/{profileName}/endpoints/{endpointName}/purge'].post
  description: Purge is an unprotected, non-reversible action.
  update:
    x-reversible: false
    x-idempotent: false
    x-agent-note: >-
      Cache eviction. Repeating this call fires the action again; content only repopulates on the next
      origin fetch. There is no replay protection on this operation.
- target: $.securityDefinitions.azure_auth
  description: Correct the flow a generated client would otherwise implement.
  update:
    x-actual-flows:
    - client_credentials
    - authorization_code
    x-token-endpoint: https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/token
    x-resource-scope: https://management.azure.com/.default
    x-discovery: https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration
    x-agent-note: >-
      The declared implicit flow is a legacy Swagger 2.0 artifact. A service integration uses client
      credentials against the token endpoint above, and authorization is then decided by Azure RBAC
      role assignment, not by OAuth scope.
