description: >-
  Webhook catalog for the asynchronous search surface. The provider ships no
  AsyncAPI document; this captures the documented webhook contract. Supply a
  webhookUrl on POST /v1/searches and the finished SearchResponse is POSTed to
  it when the search completes.
delivery:
  method: POST to the caller-supplied webhookUrl
  acknowledgement: Respond 2xx promptly; non-2xx deliveries are retried with exponential backoff for several attempts.
  semantics: at-least-once — de-duplicate on searchId.
security:
  signing_header: X-Offendersearch-Signature
  scheme: HMAC-SHA256 over the raw request body using the account's signing secret; verify with a timing-safe compare before trusting a delivery.
events:
  - name: search.completed
    description: An asynchronous search finished; payload is the full SearchResponse.
