    Vault API and platform management APIs authenticate via OAuth 2.0 client
    credentials (service accounts created in the dashboard or via vgs-cli).
    Access tokens are scoped (aliases:read/write/delete and 150+ platform scopes)
    AND vault-bound — credentials without an assigned vault get 401 regardless
    of scopes.
