This overlay records API Evangelist's enhancements to Oxide's published OpenAPI document without
mutating it. Every action below adds information Oxide states in its own documentation but does
not encode in the contract: the servers block (dropshot emits none), the security schemes
(dropshot emits none), and the base-URL/versioning notes from the API guides. Nothing here
invents behaviour — each action's description names the Oxide page it came from.
actions:
- target: $
description: >-
Add a templated servers block. Oxide serves the API from the customer's own control-plane
domain, so the base URL is a variable, not a vendor host. The CLI names it with
`oxide auth login --host ...` or the OXIDE_HOST environment variable. Source:
https://docs.oxide.computer/guides/quickstart-cli
update:
servers:
- url: https://{controlPlaneHost}
description: The Oxide control plane (Nexus) on the customer's own rack.
variables:
controlPlaneHost:
default: engineering.cloud.example.com
description: >-
The DNS name of your Oxide control plane. Oxide's quickstart uses
engineering.cloud.example.com and states it is fictitious.
- target: $.components
description: >-
Add the security schemes Oxide documents but dropshot does not emit. Source:
https://docs.oxide.computer/api/guides/authentication
update:
securitySchemes:
deviceToken:
type: http
scheme: bearer
description: >-
Device token issued by the OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant (RFC 8628) and presented
as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. Stored by the CLI at
$HOME/.config/oxide/credentials.toml or supplied via OXIDE_TOKEN.
sessionCookie:
type: apiKey
in: cookie
name: session
description: >-
Browser session used by the Oxide web console. Returned in Set-Cookie by the login
endpoints; terminated by POST /v1/logout. Timeout is 8 hours idle / 24 hours absolute
(system release v9).
scimToken:
type: http
scheme: bearer
description: >-
Per-silo bearer token for SCIM 2.0 provisioning clients, managed with
scim_token_create / scim_token_list / scim_token_view / scim_token_delete.
- target: $.info
description: >-
Record the api-version negotiation header and where the frozen historical specs live. Source:
https://docs.oxide.computer/api/guides/introduction
update:
x-api-version-header: api-version
x-api-version-policy: >-
Each system release identifies its API by info.version. Clients send an `api-version` header;
requests without it target the latest version.
x-versioned-specs: https://github.com/oxidecomputer/omicron/tree/main/openapi/nexus
- target: $.info
description: Record the absence of an idempotency contract so a consumer does not assume one.
update:
x-idempotency: none
x-idempotency-note: >-
No Idempotency-Key header is defined on any operation. Creates are name-scoped within a
parent, so a duplicate create conflicts rather than duplicating, but that is a resource-model
property and not a published retry contract.
- target: $.info
description: Record the error envelope shape, which is not RFC 9457.
update:
x-error-envelope:
media_type: application/json
schema: '#/components/schemas/Error'
fields: [message, request_id, error_code]
rfc9457: false
