  athenahealth DOES publish a dated API change log — "Release Notes and Change Logs" is a
  first-class section of the developer documentation, with year-scoped archives going back to at
  least 2019. It cannot be read by a machine. Every request to the page returns HTTP 200 with the
  same 2,116-byte HTML shell titled "athenahealth Document Portal"; the actual entries are fetched
  and rendered client-side by the @athena/document-portal-ui bundle loaded from
  cdn.nimbus.athena.io, and no server-rendered or JSON representation of the entries is exposed.
  This file records the change log's existence and its unreadability, and deliberately records ZERO
  entries rather than reconstructing entries from search-engine snippets.

  athenahealth does not label API releases with a version string on any surface we could read. The
  closest thing to a version signal is the info.version on the specs in this repo (FHIR R4 API
  25.0.0) and the CapabilityStatement version 2.0.0 dated 2022-06-06.

    Named release note — "227 Release: Added FHIR Bulk Data Access capability to support 21st
    Century Cures". Already linked from apis.yml. Confirms athenahealth numbers its athenaOne
    releases (the "227 Release") even though the number is not exposed as an API version.

entries_note: >-
  Zero entries is a measurement, not an omission. The change log exists and is dated; it is served
  only to browsers. Reconstructing entries from third-party summaries would put unverified text in
  a provenance-carrying artifact, which this pipeline does not do.

  Serve the release notes as an RSS/Atom feed or a JSON endpoint, or server-render the page. Every
  athenahealth integration partner's dependency-monitoring tooling is currently blind to
  athenahealth API changes.
