gaps:
  - >-
    No human-readable authentication documentation is reachable: developer.hrblock.com and
    apiportal.hrblock.com resolve but refuse connections from the public internet, so the
    discovery document is the only auth reference an integrator can read.
  - >-
    `none` appears in both id_token_signing_alg_values_supported and
    token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported. That is the PingFederate default advertisement,
    not necessarily an enabled client policy, but it is what the published metadata says.
