  rationale: >-
    The harvested specification declares zero operationIds across sixteen operations and no
    top-level tags block, which makes it impossible to reference an operation by name in an Arazzo
    workflow, an agent skill or an MCP tool binding. This overlay assigns an operationId to every
    operation and declares the seven tags the operations already use, without mutating the
    harvested document. The operationIds below are API Evangelist assignments, NOT RICS names.

  update:

    x-apievangelist-access: >-
      Credential-gated. RICS must issue a username and password before any operation can be called;
      there is no self-serve signup, no developer portal and no published application route other
      than the RICS Tech Partner Programme.
    x-apievangelist-operationids: >-
      All operationIds in this overlay are assigned by API Evangelist because the source
      specification declares none.

    summary: Post a payment update
    x-apievangelist-retry-safety: >-
      Not safe to retry. The API publishes no idempotency key, so a repeated payment update cannot
      be de-duplicated by the server.

  update:
    operationId: postOlaMerchant
    summary: Post to the OLA merchant endpoint
    x-apievangelist-note: >-
      Contract unknowable from the specification - no description, no parameters, no request body
      schema and only a 200 response are declared.

      RFC 7807 in shape but served as application/json rather than application/problem+json, and
      bound only to the Payment, Profile, Regulation and SurveyWriter error responses. See
      errors/rics-problem-types.yml.
