  This is a TERMINAL lifecycle record, not an active versioning policy. Alkemics the
  independent API provider no longer exists: the company was acquired by Salsify in
  October 2020 and the platform was rebranded "SupplierXM by Salsify". Alkemics
  published no deprecation policy, no sunset notice, no SLA and no status page of its
  own before the surface went away — the shutdown is observable only as DNS removal
  and HTTP 301s. Accordingly this file deliberately carries NO StatusPage and NO
  Deprecation common[] pointer; there is no such Alkemics-published page to point at,
  and emitting one would credit a policy the company never wrote.

    No Alkemics versioning policy is recoverable from any live Alkemics-controlled
    surface. Every documentation URL now resolves to Salsify's SupplierXM reference.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: unknown
  announced: false
  note: >-
    No RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation header could be observed because no Alkemics API
    host answers. api.alkemics.com does not resolve in DNS.

  mechanism: path-preserving HTTP 301 redirect
  from: https://docs.alkemics.com/

  evidence: >-
    GET https://docs.alkemics.com/ -> 301 https://docs.supplierxm.salsify.com/ and
    GET https://docs.alkemics.com/openapi.json -> 301
    https://docs.supplierxm.salsify.com/openapi.json (probed 2026-08-17). The redirect
    is path-preserving, which is the only migration guidance the Alkemics domain still
    provides to an integrator or an agent.
  note: >-
    The SupplierXM/Salsify contracts belong to Salsify and are catalogued in
    all/salsify/ — they are deliberately NOT copied into this repo. See the ownership
    rule in 0-working/pipeline-enrich.md STEP 0c.
