# EmailRep Spectral Ruleset
#
# Opinionated rules enforcing EmailRep / Sublime Security API conventions
# across the openapi/ directory of this repository. The EmailRep API surface
# is small (GET /{email}, POST /report) but its conventions still matter:
# snake_case JSON properties, camelCase operationIds, a `Key` header for
# authentication, JSON request/response bodies, and an EmailRep title/summary
# prefix.
