  Authentication profile for the Google Drive API v3. The captured OpenAPI does
  not declare securitySchemes, so this profile was upgraded from Google's Drive
  auth documentation. All Drive API requests require an OAuth 2.0 access token
  (three-legged for user data; two-legged service-account / domain-wide delegation
  for Workspace). API keys authenticate only fully public file reads. Scope detail
  lives in scopes/google-drive-scopes.yml.
