note: >-
  CafeX publishes no OpenAPI document, so this profile is transcribed from the published
  Audit Events API documentation and confirmed against live anonymous probes of both
  endpoints. No securityScheme could be derived mechanically.

  note: >-
    Client applications are created by a tenant administrator inside the authenticated CafeX
    product; there is no anonymous developer sign-up that yields API credentials.

  note: >-
    Separately from the platform's own API, CafeX App Studio external data sources support
    per-user stored credentials for OUTBOUND calls to third-party APIs — OAuth (clientId /
    clientSecret / tokenUrl), custom auth headers, and HTTP Basic. These are consumer-side
    credential slots, not authentication to a CafeX API.
