gaps:
- accounts.eclipse.org is the authorizationUrl and tokenUrl host for the Open VSX, Profile and Eclipse RESTful API
  oauth2 schemes, but serves no /.well-known/openid-configuration or /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server (both
  404 on 2026-09-07). Those three schemes cannot be auto-configured.
- The published Eclipse RESTful API spec (webdev.eclipse.org/docs/api/additional-api-docs) declares its oauth2 authorizationUrl
  and tokenUrl as https://accounts.php55.dev.docker/oauth2/* — an internal Docker development hostname that is not
  resolvable on the public internet. Recorded verbatim as published; not corrected here. A client following that
  spec cannot obtain a token.
- No mutualTLS, apiKey or http-bearer securityScheme is declared anywhere in the 18 harvested specs. Open VSX personal
  access tokens are passed as a `token` query parameter on publish/verify operations rather than as a declared securityScheme.
token_conventions:
- api: Open VSX Registry API
  mechanism: personal access token
  transport: '`token` query parameter on /api/user/publish, /api/{namespace}/verify-pat and related write operations'
  issued_at: https://open-vsx.org/user-settings/tokens
  env_var: OVSX_PAT
  note: Documented by the ovsx CLI; not modelled as an OpenAPI securityScheme.
