api_versioning:
  scheme: request-parameter
  parameter: v
  current: '1.2'
  format: major.minor
  policy: >-
    "Minor revisions will maintain backwards compatibility. Major revisions will not maintain
    backwards compatibility. Users of the API will be given a time frame to port to the new API during
    any major changes before the old API is deprecated."
  docs: https://www.advancednavigation.com/accessories/gnss-ins-post-processing/kinematica/api-reference-manual/
  note: >-
    The policy states that a porting window exists but does not quantify it — no number of months, no
    minimum notice period, and no published list of retired versions. API v1.2 has been current since
    06/02/2018; v1.0 and v1.1 are named in the software-history table but no sunset date is given for
    either.

      RFC 8594 Sunset / Deprecation headers are not documented and were not observed on the live
      response probed 2026-09-09. Deprecation notice is prose in the reference manual only.

    stages: [NRND (not recommended for new design), LTB (last time buy), LTS (last time ship), End of Support]
    note: >-
      Advanced Navigation runs a genuine, dated four-stage hardware End of Life program and publishes
      the milestone dates for each retiring product on the Documentation page. This is a real
      deprecation posture — it is stronger than what the API itself publishes.
