    note: Adobe states OAuth Server-to-Server "will be the only method supported moving forward".
  edge_surface: The Edge Network API supports non-authenticated collection at https://edge.adobedc.net
    (datastreamId query parameter only) and authenticated collection at https://server.adobedc.net using
    the same IMS bearer token plus x-api-key.
  note: Adobe's published Reactor contract declares NO securitySchemes at all — the three required headers
    are described only in prose inside info.description. overlays/adobe-launch-reactor-api-overlay.yaml
    adds them so a generated client authenticates. The schemes below were derived from the API Evangelist
    refined specs, which do declare them.
