    The Handy Partner API does not use a standard OpenAPI securityScheme (the
    published Swagger declares no securityDefinitions). Authentication is a
    custom per-request RSA-SHA256 signature scheme documented on the partner
    docs site and in the first-party Handybook/API-Request-Signing repo.

      base64(rsa_sha256(private_key, PARTNER_ID + "\n" + URL + "\n" +
      HTTP_METHOD + "\n" + TIMESTAMP + "\n" + PAYLOAD)). RSA private key issued
      to the partner; Handy holds the public key.
