# 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: 4/4 servers on blackrock.com
# - path-params-casing: camel @ 100% (n=9)
# - query-params-casing: camel @ 69% (n=13)
# - operationid-casing: camel @ 100% (n=13)
# - schema-names-casing: pascal @ 100% (n=18)
# - schema-properties-casing: camel @ 53% (n=98)
# - security: global (root) — NOT emitting operation-security-required
# - pagination params observed: ['page', 'pageSize']
# - merge: kept 36 existing, added 4 measured, upgraded 0
# - added: path-params-casing, query-params-casing, schema-names-casing, schema-properties-casing
