  Derived mechanically from OpenAPI securitySchemes was not possible — Lemon Cash
  publishes no OpenAPI. The auth model below is captured verbatim from the Mini App
  SDK documentation, which is the provider's only public developer contract.

  description: >-
    The only supported authentication method for a Lemon Mini App. Presents the
    Mini App's Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy and requested claims to the user
    inside the Lemon Cash app, then signs a SIWE message with the user's wallet and
    returns the wallet address, granted claims, signature and signed message.
  parameters:
  - {name: chainId, type: ChainId, required: true, description: EIP-155 chain id the authentication is bound to}
  - {name: nonce, type: string, required: false, description: 'Anti-replay nonce; must be at least 8 alphanumeric characters and generated server-side, one per attempt'}
  - {name: requirements.claims, type: 'ClaimKey[]', required: false, description: Claims requested from the user at consent time}
  returns:
  - {field: wallet, type: string, description: The authenticated user's wallet address}
  - {field: grantedClaims, type: 'MiniAppGrantedClaim[]', description: Key/value pairs for the claims the user granted}
  - {field: signature, type: string, description: SIWE signature proving wallet ownership}
  - {field: message, type: string, description: The SIWE message that was signed}
  contract_wallets:
    erc6492: true
    note: >-
      Supports ERC-6492 so a user can authenticate before their smart-contract
      wallet is deployed; the wallet is deployed on the user's first transaction.
rules:
- Call authenticate as soon as the user enters the Mini App, before deposit, withdraw,
  transferMoney or callSmartContract.
- Call authenticate on every entry so the wallet address is always fresh; re-trigger
  when the user switches chains.
- Generate the nonce in your backend, store it with an expiry and a used flag, and
  verify it matches the nonce inside the signed message before trusting the signature.
- Verify the SIWE signature server-side (the docs use viem verifySiweMessage, which
  supports ERC-6492 contract wallets).
consent_claims:
  model: user-granted claims requested at authentication time
  docs: https://lemoncash.mintlify.app/types/types#claim-keys
  claims:
  - {key: NAME, description: The user's first name}
  - {key: LAST_NAME, description: The user's last name}
  - {key: EMAIL, description: The user's email address}
  - {key: IS_PEP, description: 'Whether the user is a Politically Exposed Person; Argentina only'}
  - {key: LEMONTAG, description: The user's Lemon Cash tag (username)}
  - {key: OPERATION_COUNTRY, description: The country where the user operates}
oauth2: false
oauth2_note: >-
  No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect surface. /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server and
  /.well-known/openid-configuration both return 404 on lemon.me, so no scopes/
  artifact was written — the ClaimKey set above is the consent surface instead.
