x-doc-source
`x-doc-source` appears on operations. Its value is a string. Used by a single provider across 1 OpenAPI document. Observed values include `postman`, `drafted`, `inferred+docs:user-guide/ui/simulation-settings.mdx`, `docs-only:user-guide/ui/energy-storage-system.mdx`. Consistent with documentation & dx — this is inferred from where the key appears and what it carries, not from any published definition.

Why this is not in OpenAPI
Extensions exist because a provider needed something the specification would not carry. Most of what they hold is not the API contract at all — it is operational metadata about the contract: documentation, lifecycle, policy, provenance, and now agents. That metadata is usually better placed alongside the contract, in an Overlay or an APIs.json index, than crammed inside it. See everything else doing the documentation & dx job.
