# application-research — 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: 90% of servers already https (warn)
#   - path-params-casing: camel @ 80% (n=132)
#   - query-params-casing: snake @ 67% (n=102)
#   - operationid-casing: camel @ 71% (n=103)
#   - schema-names-casing: pascal @ 100% (n=311)
#   - schema-properties-casing: snake @ 64% (n=1241)
#   - security: global (root) — NOT emitting operation-security-required
#   - error-schema-defined: Error
#   - pagination params observed: ['limit', 'offset']
#   - merge: kept 19 existing, added 7 measured, upgraded 0
#   - added: servers-https-only, query-params-casing, operationid-casing, schema-names-casing, schema-properties-casing, security-schemes-defined, error-schema-defined
