note: >-
  Two distinct surfaces. (1) The public Spec Scoring API at api.getelva.ai is
  deliberately unauthenticated — "no account and no key" — for GET /api/review/checks
  and POST /api/review; everything else in Elva's API (repos, catalog, collections,
  MCP, chat, testing) sits behind authentication inside the app. (2) The platform's
  own MCP resource at app.getelva.ai/mcp is OAuth 2.0-protected, discovered via
  RFC 8414 + RFC 9728 metadata (probed 2026-09-07): authorization_code + PKCE S256,
  dynamic client registration. Separately, Elva's hosted-MCP runtime RELAYS customer
  upstream auth (no_auth, api_key, bearer_token, jwt, basic_auth, oauth_2_0
  client-credentials/password, openid_connect) — a stateless in-memory token relay,
  documented for customer deployments, not an auth scheme of Elva's own API.
