  notes: >-
    Thredd Cards API (API Hub) uses FAPI-grade OAuth2 client-credentials.
    Clients authenticate with a client_id + client_secret to a token endpoint
    and present the returned Bearer access token on every request. Production /
    high-assurance access adds private_key_jwt client assertions over mutual TLS,
    brokered by Cloudentity with Raidiam Connect acting as the certificate
    authority. Documented example uses the UAT token endpoint.
