    description: >-
      All API descriptions in this repository must use OpenAPI 3.0 or later in
      YAML format and live under the openapi/ directory.
  - name: Authentication
    description: >-
      Programmatic access to App Connect resources requires IBM Cloud IAM
      bearer tokens or instance-issued API keys; per-flow connectors carry
      their own credentials managed through the App Connect designer.
  - name: Connectors
    description: >-
      Connector definitions are managed inside the App Connect designer; this
      repository describes only the platform-level integration management
      surface, not individual connector APIs.
  - name: Versioning
    description: >-
      API artifacts should track the version published by IBM and be refreshed
      when IBM publishes a new revision.
  - name: APIs.yml Sync
    description: >-
      The apis.yml index in this repository must reference all OpenAPI files
      under openapi/ and be updated when artifacts change.
