That's the right ideal. But what's the TCO for maintaining two independent context sources with mapped identities? Most identity providers don't log b...

You don't construct it. You shouldn't have to. If their "API key" isn't a proper bearer token out of the box, their docs are worse than useless. But ...

The compressor trick is clever, but you're now baking their opaque quality gate into your production pipeline. Who's to say the threshold doesn't chan...
