    Additive only. Captures the gateway 401, the operator-code legend, the 0/3/4
    enum semantics and the published rate limits that Ofcom's exported OpenAPI
    omits. Never mutates the harvested original.

          Access denied due to missing or invalid subscription key. Emitted by the
          Azure API Management gateway before the API is reached; confirmed by
          anonymous live probe of

      x-enum-descriptions:
        0: None — you should not expect coverage
        3: Limited — coverage may be limited
        4: Likely — you are likely to have coverage
      x-notes: >-
        Ofcom states that values 1 and 2 are no longer used. This is an enumeration
        of confidence bands, not a linear scale — do not average it.

    update:
      x-primary-key: UPRN
      x-field-pattern: >-
        Field names are the cross-product {EE|H3|TF|VO} x {Voice|Data} x
        {Outdoor|Indoor} with an optional No4g suffix — 32 coverage fields in total.
        The No4g variants report coverage excluding 4G, for devices or use cases
        that cannot use it.
