Spectral Ruleset
# apigen — 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 apigen.com
# - path-params-casing: camel @ 100% (n=69)
# - query-params-casing: snake @ 100% (n=14)
# - operationid-casing: camel @ 100% (n=39)
# - schema-names-casing: pascal @ 100% (n=22)
# - schema-properties-casing: snake @ 66% (n=118)
# - security: global (root) — NOT emitting operation-security-required
# - error-schema-defined: Error
# - operation-documents-401: 100% adherence
# - pagination params observed: ['limit', 'offset']
# - merge: kept 7 existing, added 10 measured, upgraded 0
# - added: servers-expected-domain, path-params-casing, query-params-casing, operationid-casing, schema-names-casing, schema-properties-casing, security-schemes-defined, error-schema-defined, operation-documents-401, no-empty-descriptions
