How to document webhooks in OpenAPI 3.1 (with signatures, retries, and examples)
Webhooks are the most under-documented part of an API surface and the part most likely to page someone at 3 a.m. Consumers cannot discover them by making requests — the server calls them — so the document is the only thing standing between an integration and guesswork.

Structure solved, the remaining work is content: signatures, retries, ordering, and examples precise enough to verify a receiver against. Here is a complete pattern.
