  notes: >-
    Superset's hosted Agent API (api.superset.sh) authenticates with OAuth 2.1
    (browser-based authorization code, used for interactive/CLI cross-device
    login) or API keys for headless/CI use. The CLI signs in via
    `superset auth login` (OAuth or API key) and stores credentials locally.
    api.superset.sh publishes RFC 8414 authorization-server metadata and OIDC
    discovery (see well-known/superset-well-known.yml).
