  AngelList runs two distinct authentication models. The Investor Management
  GraphQL API is a bearer API-key API with environment-scoped key prefixes. The
  AngelList web products (venture.angellist.com, portal.angellist.com) sit
  behind a first-party OIDC provider at auth.angellist.com that publishes real
  RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery metadata and supports dynamic client registration.
  No OpenAPI exists to derive securitySchemes from — the API is GraphQL and its
  production endpoint has introspection disabled.
