    Semantic-versioned project releases (v1.23.0). The OpenAPI's info.version tracks the
    application release, not the API contract version — 1.22.0 and 1.23.0 describe the same
    129 operations.
  current_version: 1.23.0
  current_version_released: '2026-07-07'
  contract: https://github.com/artifacthub/hub/blob/master/docs/api/openapi.yaml
  note: >-
    There has never been a v2. The /api/v1 prefix has been stable across every release, and
    a diff of the 1.22.0 and 1.23.0 specs shows zero operations added or removed.

  note: >-
    Roughly two minor releases a year historically, slowing to one: 8.5 months between
    1.21.0 and 1.22.0 and 8.5 months again between 1.22.0 and 1.23.0.
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  deprecated_operations: 0
  note: >-
    No operation in the 1.23.0 contract carries `deprecated: true`, and the project
    publishes no API deprecation or sunset policy — searched the docs, the README, ROADMAP.md
    and GOVERNANCE.md. `deprecated` DOES appear in the API, but as a search filter over
    LISTED PACKAGES (components.parameters.DeprecatedParam, "Whether to include deprecated
    packages or not") and as a Tekton package annotation added in 1.23.0 — that is a
    property of third-party artifacts in the catalog, not of Artifact Hub's own endpoints.
    No Deprecation pointer is emitted in apis.yml for this reason.
status_page:
  published: false
  probed: '2026-09-04'
  evidence: >-
    status.artifacthub.io does not resolve (DNS NXDOMAIN), no status/uptime link appears in
    the docs, the README or the site footer, and no third-party status host is referenced.
    No StatusPage pointer is emitted.

    artifacthub.io is a free CNCF-operated service with no service-level agreement. The
    only availability commitment of any kind is the operational note in the FAQ that
    repositories are processed every 30 minutes and changes are visible within 5 minutes of
    processing.

    chart, distribution point declared in SECURITY-INSIGHTS.yml). The hosted artifacthub.io
    service carries no contractual commitment.
