  First-party distributed packages for Akita Software and its successor product.
  Akita's own CLI and libraries were transferred to the postmanlabs organization
  after the July 2023 acquisition; the akitasoftware/* Go module paths still
  resolve because GitHub follows the repository transfers. There is no
  language-client SDK for the observability API — the agent binary itself is the
  distributed artifact, so no `SDKs` pointer is emitted.
packages:
  - name: github.com/postmanlabs/postman-insights-agent
    registry: go
    language: Go
    official: true
    version: v0.40.1

      The open-source community build of the Postman Insights Agent — the direct
      successor to the Akita agent. Version and date read from
      proxy.golang.org/github.com/postmanlabs/postman-insights-agent/@latest.
      Repository default branch was last pushed 2026-08-30, so development is
      ahead of the last tagged release.
  - name: github.com/akitasoftware/akita-libs
    registry: go
    language: Go
    official: true
    version: v0.0.0-20260805075359-4d5c2bfd6d62
    published: '2026-08-05'
    url: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/akitasoftware/akita-libs

    status: active
    note: >-
      Supporting libraries for the Insights Agent. The akitasoftware/akita-libs
      path redirects to postmanlabs/observability-shared-libs; the module is
      untagged, so the latest is a pseudo-version. Read from
      proxy.golang.org/github.com/akitasoftware/akita-libs/@latest.
  - name: github.com/akitasoftware/akita-cli
    registry: go
    language: Go
    official: true
    version: v0.30.7
    published: '2024-05-21'

    repository: https://github.com/postmanlabs/observability-cli
    status: archived
    note: >-
      The original Akita CLI (apidump / apispec / apidiff). The repository now
      redirects to postmanlabs/observability-cli and is ARCHIVED (read-only,
      last push 2024-06-05). Superseded by postman-insights-agent.
  - name: akita-cli
    registry: homebrew
    language: Go
    official: true
    version: 0.29.3
    published: null
    url: https://github.com/akitasoftware/homebrew-akita
    repository: https://github.com/akitasoftware/homebrew-akita
    status: broken
    note: >-
      Homebrew tap `akitasoftware/akita`, formula akita-cli.rb, pinned to 0.29.3.
      Homebrew taps carry no registry metadata endpoint, so no publish date is
      available — version read from the formula's `version` stanza. The formula's
      download URLs point at https://releases.akita.software/cli/0.29.3/... and
      the akita.software domain has EXPIRED (it now redirects to
      expireddomains.com), so this tap can no longer install. Tap repo last
      pushed 2024-01-30.

      The distributed (non-community) agent binary, installed via
      `bash -c "$(curl -L https://releases.observability.postman.com/scripts/install-postman-insights-agent.sh)"`
      per learning.postman.com/docs/insights/get-started/ec2/. The install script
      URL is UNPINNED and floats to latest, and the release host indexes no
      version listing (https://releases.observability.postman.com/ returns 200
      with no manifest), so a consumer cannot tell which build they receive —
      version recorded as null for that reason, not because it was unchecked.
