# aws-step-functions — 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: camel @ 100% (n=10)
#   - operationid-casing: pascal @ 100% (n=26)
#   - schema-names-casing: pascal @ 99% (n=173)
#   - schema-properties-casing: camel @ 60% (n=319)
#   - security: global (root) — NOT emitting operation-security-required
#   - error-schema-defined: SensitiveError
#   - pagination params observed: ['maxResults', 'nextToken']
#   - merge: kept 8 existing, added 8 measured, upgraded 0
#   - added: servers-https-only, query-params-casing, operationid-casing, schema-names-casing, schema-properties-casing, security-schemes-defined, error-schema-defined, no-empty-descriptions
