  Cytora publishes no OpenAPI, so this profile is read directly from the live
  OpenID Connect discovery document of Cytora's identity provider rather than
  derived from securitySchemes. Partner and customer integrations against
  api.cytora.com are provisioned per contract; client credentials cannot be
  obtained self-serve.

  observed:
  - auth0-spa-js is the browser authentication library
  - requests carry an Authorization header (bearer)
  - no API key header or query parameter observed anywhere in the client
gaps:

- No self-serve credential issuance; no developer signup exists.
- No product/resource scopes published anonymously (see scopes/cytora-scopes.yml).
