x-source
`x-source` appears in the info block. Its value is a string. Used by 100 providers across 148 OpenAPI documents. Observed values include `https://tidal-music.github.io/tidal-api-reference/tidal-api-oas.json`, `https://developer.sovrn.com/llms.txt (per-endpoint OpenAPI definitions, harveste`, `https://github.com/yugabyte/platform-go-client/blob/master/api/openapi.yaml`, `https://api.losant.com/`. 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.
