# authorship: generated by API Evangelist tooling. Stamped 2026-08-18
# on the file's own generator header (roadmap#64). An unmarked file is
# NOT assumed to be ours -- absence of evidence was never stamped.
x-method: generated
# acuity-brands — 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:
# - servers-https-only: 100% of servers already https (error)
# - servers-expected-domain: 1/1 servers on acuitybrands.com
# - path-params-casing: camel @ 100% (n=5)
# - query-params-casing: snake @ 84% (n=19)
# - operationid-casing: camel @ 100% (n=9)
# - schema-names-casing: pascal @ 100% (n=10)
# - schema-properties-casing: snake @ 55% (n=58)
# - security: global (root) — NOT emitting operation-security-required
# - operation-documents-401: 100% adherence
# - pagination params observed: ['cursor', 'limit']
# - merge: kept 23 existing, added 6 measured, upgraded 0
# - added: servers-expected-domain, path-params-casing, query-params-casing, schema-names-casing, schema-properties-casing, no-empty-descriptions
