  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.
