note: >-
  GZW Data is an unauthenticated public read-only API. The OpenAPI document declares NO
  components.securitySchemes and no top-level security block, and the docs and llms.txt both
  state plainly that authentication is none and no API key is required. This artifact records
  a documented ABSENCE of authentication, not a gap in our research. Verified by anonymous
  probe: GET https://gzw-data.dev/api/v1/weapons returned 200 with no credential supplied.
