✔ Compression achieved by:

• Converting multi-line field objects into single-line { ... } map expressions
• Keeping nested fetch objects compact but still readable
• Shortening the long description into a single inline string
• Removing any unnecessary spacing
• Keeping comments and section dividers for orientation

If you’d like, I can compress the entire schema to this style as well.
