# 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-simpledb — 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: 50% of servers already https (warn)
# - query-params-casing: pascal @ 100% (n=67)
# - schema-names-casing: pascal @ 100% (n=51)
# - schema-properties-casing: pascal @ 100% (n=72)
# - security: global (root) — NOT emitting operation-security-required
# - operation-documents-400: 90% adherence
# - merge: kept 19 existing, added 6 measured, upgraded 0
# - added: servers-https-only, query-params-casing, schema-names-casing, schema-properties-casing, security-schemes-defined, operation-documents-400
