  Armature's published OpenAPI at docs.armature.tech/.armature/openapi.json was
  retired to an empty stub, so this profile is documented, not spec-derived.

    Write-only ingest key used by the TypeScript/Python/Go MCP-analytics SDKs to
    stream telemetry to Armature. Provided to the SDK via the
    ANALYTICS_INGEST_API_KEY environment variable; scoped per MCP server, minted
    once ("shown once — copy it"), rotatable/revocable per server. If the key is
    missing the SDK quietly no-ops.
