    a WMS 1.3.0 GetCapabilities document declaring 193 layers and a WFS 2.0.0 GetCapabilities document declaring
    61 feature types returned HTTP 200 and is saved here verbatim. These GetCapabilities documents are the machine-readable
    contract for this surface — there is no OpenAPI for the classic OGC services.'
