  Derived from the absence of any machine-readable contract after full STEP 0b
  contract discovery against www.aes.com, fluenceenergy.com, www.aesindiana.com,

specification: API Commons Conventions
specificationVersion: '0.1'
provider: AES Corporation
providerId: aes
applicability: >-
  AES Corporation publishes no API. Every convention below is recorded `na` — not
  zero, not missing — because there is no request/response surface for a convention
  to apply to. An honest `na` keeps this provider in the denominator rather than
  scoring it as a provider that shipped an API and then documented nothing about it.
auth_style:
  status: na
  note: 'No public API. The Fluence platforms authenticate tenants under contract; nothing is published.'
idempotency:
  status: na
  header: null
  scope: null
  retention: null
  note: >-
    No write surface. No `Idempotency` pointer is emitted — the 9-point agent-readiness
    dimension is genuinely not applicable here, not merely unfilled.

reversibility:
  status: na
  grade: na
  write_surface_present: false
  reversal_operations: []
  note: >-
    Reversibility is `na` for AES: there is no write surface, so there is no action an
    agent could take that would need taking back. This is recorded explicitly rather
    than left blank so it reads as "checked, not applicable" instead of "not checked".
    If AES or Fluence ever publish a contract, the reversal operations to look for in
    a storage-bidding product are bid cancellation before market close and dispatch
    schedule rollback, each with the market gate-closure window that bounds it — but
    no such window is asserted here, because nothing published states one.
