  REPLACES a 2026-05-04 scaffold that invented Free / Professional / Enterprise
  tiers with placeholder quotas and TBD prices. AsyncAPI has no commercial
  offering of any kind. It is an open-source project hosted by the Linux
  Foundation (LF Projects, LLC); the specification is Apache-2.0, every tool in
  the toolchain is Apache-2.0 on npm, and the hosted Server API at
  https://api.asyncapi.com/v1 is free, keyless and requires no signup — verified
  by an anonymous 200 on 2026-09-06. There is no pricing page, no plans page, no
  billing surface and no "contact sales" gate. plan_count is 0 because the
  provider genuinely publishes none, not because none was found.
