  paths:
  - name: Dashboard signup
    url: https://auth.multiverseapp.ai/sign-up?redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdashboard.compactif.ai%2F
    steps:
    - Create an account at dashboard.compactif.ai with an email address
    - Add billing details and accept billing terms
    - Add a payment method
    - Copy the API key from the Manage API Keys tab
    note: No AWS account required.
  - name: AWS Marketplace subscription
    url: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-ce2dp5ibd7lli
    steps:
    - Subscribe on the AWS Marketplace listing (pay-as-you-go plan only)
    - Complete the "Set up your account" registration form
    - Await manual approval (documented as typically within 24 hours)
    - Sign in to dashboard.compactif.ai via Multiverse IAM with an emailed one-time
      passcode (OTP)
    note: Approval is manual, so key issuance on this path is not self-service.
key_policy:
  tokens_per_account: 1
  rotation: Self-service "Rotate key" in the Dashboard Manage API Keys tab
  multi_user: Not supported per account; teammates must sign up separately or contact
    support
  compromise_procedure: Report through the technical support form (https://docs.compactif.ai/support-contact/)

errors:
  '401': authentication_error — no Bearer token supplied, malformed token, or the
    token is not associated with a valid user
  source: https://docs.compactif.ai/error-handling/
notes:
- The OpenAPI document declares components.securitySchemes.HTTPBearer but sets no
  top-level `security` requirement and no per-operation `security`, so the spec alone
  does not show that auth is mandatory; the docs and a live 401 from GET
  https://api.compactif.ai/v1/models both confirm it is.
