notes: >-
  Moondream Cloud authenticates every request with an API key issued from the
  Moondream Cloud Console (https://moondream.ai/c/cloud/api-keys). Native Skill
  endpoints (/query, /caption, /detect, /point, /segment) pass the key in the
  X-Moondream-Auth header. The OpenAI-compatible /chat/completions endpoint takes
  the same key as an HTTP bearer token (Authorization: Bearer). There is no OAuth
  or scope surface.
