# Studio Ghibli API Spectral Ruleset
#
# Enforces conventions used by the community-built Studio Ghibli API
# (https://github.com/janaipakos/ghibliapi). The API is a read-only REST surface
# over five resource collections (films, people, locations, species, vehicles)
# and uses these conventions:
#
#   OpenAPI version : 3.0.3 (converted from original Swagger 2.0)
#   Title prefix    : "Studio Ghibli ..."
#   Path casing     : lowercase, plural collection nouns
#   OperationId     : camelCase, verb-noun (listFilms, getFilm)
#   Parameter names : snake_case (matches response field casing)
#   Schema props    : snake_case
#   Security        : none — public API
#   Required errors : 400, 404 (per Swagger source)
