notes: >-
  The published Speakeasy OpenAPI lists three interchangeable top-level security
  schemes (APIKey, WorkspaceIdentifier, Bearer). Workspace API keys and tokens are
  created and managed via the Workspaces API and the Speakeasy dashboard/CLI. The
  CLI typically authenticates interactively (speakeasy auth) and stores credentials
  locally rather than requiring you to pass headers by hand.
