Breakingdirection flip: their tools call this safe

prism_products is no longer accepted

What changed

Usually ignored rather than rejected, so the call succeeds and does something subtly different.

Affects prism_products on CraCheckReportCreatePartnerInsightsOptions reachable from 1 operation. Grep for it: nothing else will tell you.

Who is affected

Code that sends Plaid's CraCheckReportCreatePartnerInsightsOptions objects, used by 1 Plaid operation.
