notes: >-
  Lightyear publishes no public developer API and no developer authentication documentation. The
  only machine-readable auth surface found is the RFC 8414 OAuth 2.0 authorization server metadata
  served from api.lightyear.com, which describes an OAuth 2.0 authorization-code + PKCE flow scoped
  to an internal MCP integration. It is captured here as observed fact, not as a documented public
  auth contract for third-party developers.
