description: >-
Captures every change API Evangelist applies on top of X's published OpenAPI
(harvested verbatim from https://api.x.com/2/openapi.json, version 2.168) when
producing the per-tag documents in openapi/. The original is never mutated.
The per-tag split itself is structural and is recorded here as a note rather than
as an action, because Overlay cannot express document fan-out.
extends: openapi/_original/x-api-v2-openapi.json
split_note: >-
openapi/x-<tag>-api-openapi.yml are 23 tag-scoped documents mechanically derived from
the original, each carrying the transitive closure of the components its operations
reference. No operation, parameter, schema or response was added, removed or reworded.
