x-provenance-note: '2026-08-27: baseURLs corrected from the placeholder host your-oracle-instance.com to Oracle''s
  own published templated ORDS URL pattern, and the billing model corrected from the scaffold''s "Usage-Based" default
  to the perpetual-licence model Oracle actually publishes for the Partitioning option. The meters and unitEconomics
