x-implements
`x-implements` appears on schema objects and properties. Its value is a list. Used by 6 providers across 14 OpenAPI documents. Observed values include `io.airbyte.api.common.ConfigurableActor`, `org.folio.innreach.domain.dto.InnReachResponseData`, `org.folio.dew.domain.dto.authoritycontrol.DataStatDTO`, `org.folio.dew.domain.dto.authoritycontrol.DataStatCollectionDTO`. Consistent with data & schema semantics — 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 data & schema semantics job.
