notes: >-
  Scopes above are the Photon API application scopes documented on the auth page.
  The Auth0 authorization server additionally advertises standard OIDC scopes
  (openid, profile, offline_access, email) in its openid-configuration; those are
  identity scopes, not API-resource scopes. write:prescription is the only
  restricted resource scope.
