  title: Blue — Service Contract
  version: 0.1.0
  description: >
    The client-side contract the `blue` CLI expects from the provisioned
    service. The reference `control-api` implements it; any BYO service that
    honors these shapes can be swapped in. Gateway-mode inference JWT issuance
    is OPTIONAL — governance-only deployments need only `GET
    /governance-config`. CLI callers use OAuth 2.0 access tokens issued through
    RFC 8628 device authorization; dashboard callers use an HTTP-only Better
    Auth session cookie.
