    description: >-
      API keys authenticate programmatic access to the workspace. The unified
      key model exposes opaque tokens, per-domain access grants, and budget /
      rate-limit constraints (see ADR 0001 and ADR 0002).
  - name: Budgets
    description: >-
      Budgets govern spend, token usage, and request rate across six scopes:
      workspace, project, identity, api-key, provider, and model. A budget is
      hierarchical and defense-in-depth — every applicable budget is a hard
      gate, and the most restrictive one wins per dimension (see ADR 0007).
