note: >-
  Quad publishes no developer portal and no API reference, so there is no documented
  auth model for its APIs. What IS anonymously verifiable is the identity layer in
  front of the At-Home Connect self-service platform: the platform's SPA at
  athomeconnect.quad.com bootstraps against Microsoft Entra External ID (Azure AD B2C)
  in Quad's own `quadb2c.onmicrosoft.com` tenant, whose OIDC discovery document is
  public and was fetched (HTTP 200). The scheme below is read verbatim from that
  discovery document — it is the login for the product Quad markets as API-integrable,
  not a published API authentication contract. The postal API host
  (api.postal.quad.com) returns 403 to anonymous requests and publishes no
  WWW-Authenticate challenge, so its auth model could not be established.
