notes: 'Upgraded from the mechanically derived profile on 2026-08-13 by reading Google''s own AdMob auth
  documentation. AdMob accepts ONLY a Google OAuth 2.0 user access token, sent as ''Authorization: Bearer
  <token>''. There is no API key, no basic auth, no mutual TLS client auth and - critically for automation
  - NO SERVICE ACCOUNT SUPPORT, so an unattended agent cannot self-authorize; a human must complete consent
  and the refresh token must be held. The AdMob API must additionally be enabled on the Google Cloud project
  behind the OAuth client or every call returns 403 PERMISSION_DENIED. The authorization server is accounts.google.com,
  whose RFC 8414 metadata and OIDC discovery documents were probed live (both HTTP 200) and saved to well-known/.'
