# gitlab — 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: 13/13 servers on gitlab.com
#   - path-params-casing: snake @ 100% (n=189)
#   - query-params-casing: snake @ 100% (n=96)
#   - operationid-casing: camel @ 100% (n=167)
#   - schema-properties-casing: snake @ 100% (n=511)
#   - security: global (root) — NOT emitting operation-security-required
#   - pagination params observed: ['page', 'page_token', 'per_page', 'size']
#   - merge: kept 24 existing, added 3 measured, upgraded 0
#   - added: servers-expected-domain, query-params-casing, operationid-casing
