note: >-
  Ethos publishes no public OpenAPI for its partnership API (access is provisioned per partner),
  so this profile is derived from Ethos's own published engineering description of the auth model
  rather than from a machine-readable securityScheme.

  type: http
  scheme: bearer
  description: >-
    Token auth: a bearer token is generated from a partner's API key and tied to an individual
    application session. Session information is stored server-side and used to hydrate subsequent
    API calls; Ethos can invalidate a token, and payloads are kept minimal (only the data required
    for a given call) to protect applicants' personal information.
  provisioning: Partner API key issued by Ethos; not self-service / not publicly documented.
