# 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
# amazon-lambda — 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 amazonaws.com
# - path-params-casing: pascal @ 71% (n=7)
# - operationid-casing: pascal @ 100% (n=11)
# - schema-properties-casing: pascal @ 94% (n=17)
# - security: global (root) — NOT emitting operation-security-required
# - operation-documents-400: 100% adherence
# - operation-documents-403: 100% adherence
# - operation-documents-500: 100% adherence
# - merge: kept 16 existing, added 8 measured, upgraded 0
# - added: servers-expected-domain, path-params-casing, operationid-casing, schema-properties-casing, operation-documents-400, operation-documents-403, operation-documents-500, no-empty-descriptions
