  Registry metadata endpoints queried unauthenticated on 2026-09-02
  (registry.npmjs.org, rubygems.org/api/v1/gems, pypi.org/pypi) plus the
  apiaryio GitHub organization repository listing. Every package below is
  published from an apiaryio-owned repository, which is why official is true.
  The whole apiaryio organization was archived on 2024-11-08, so no entry here
  has a live release channel.

  DECAY SIGNAL. The newest first-party release in this table is protagonist
  2.3.0 (2023-07-28). The API Blueprint parsing service at
  https://api.apiblueprint.org was probed live and answering on 2026-09-02, so
  the service outlives every client library that wraps it by more than three
  years. There is no first-party HTTP client for the parsing service at all —
  the packages below are local parsers and test tooling, not API clients.
