Spectral Ruleset

Raw ↑
# acquia — Spectral ruleset (strengthened)
# Plain Spectral. Existing hand-authored rules preserved; measured rules added
# from this provider's own OpenAPI conventions by strengthen_ruleset.py,
# then self-validated against the spec.
#
# Provenance:
#   - path-params-casing: camel @ 96% (n=750)
#   - query-params-casing: snake @ 100% (n=410)
#   - operationid-casing: camel @ 96% (n=638)
#   - schema-properties-casing: snake @ 78% (n=52120)
#   - security: neither global nor consistently per-op — schemes-defined only
#   - error-schema-defined: Acquia_Cloud_API_Documentation_Error
#   - operation-documents-404: 95% adherence
#   - pagination params observed: ['limit', 'offset']
#   - merge: kept 32 existing, added 5 measured, upgraded 0
#   - added: query-params-casing, operationid-casing, schema-properties-casing, error-schema-defined, operation-documents-404
