  notes: >-
    Credentials (Client ID + Client Secret + OAuth token endpoint) are issued per application
    in the Nitro Admin Portal (admin.gonitro.com); up to 25 applications per account. API
    access requires a Nitro Sign Enterprise plan. Tokens should be cached to their expiresIn
    and renewed on 401. No OAuth scopes are declared — access is application/tenant scoped.
    Credentials can be rotated immediately from the Admin Portal to revoke a compromised secret.
