surface: sdk
versioning:
  scheme: semver
  current: 1.18.5
  current_date: '2026-08-10'
  cadence: >-
    Face AR SDK ships a patch roughly monthly and a minor every few months (1.17.0 2025-03-20 -> 1.18.0 2026-03-09 ->
    1.18.5 2026-08-10, 60+ dated entries). Video Editor SDK is versioned separately (1.54.1 on 2026-08-28).
  compatibility_rule: >-
    All Banuba SDK packages in an app must be on the same version — "packages with different versions (even minor)
    may conflict or work incorrectly with each other" (installation guide). Web licences are domain-bound, mobile
    licences are application-bound (pricing guide).
deprecation_policy:
  published: false
  note: >-
    No deprecation or end-of-support policy is published. The changelog has no Deprecated/Removed sections and no
    Sunset/Deprecation headers apply because there is no HTTP surface. Breaking changes are handled with per-release
    migration guides (the Video Editor SDK 1.50.0 migration guide lives on vebanuba.notion.site).
licence_token_lifecycle:
  demo_token: valid 14 days (standard trial); may be renewed on request if evaluation was not completed
  commercial_token: valid for the prepaid licence period; renewed by the account manager after pre-payment; licence auto-renews while in use
  grace_period: >-
    For one month after expiry the SDK keeps working but overlays the Banuba watermark and screen blur; after that
    month the SDK stops working entirely while the host app keeps running. An expired token cannot be extended — a new
    one is issued.
  recommendation: store the token server-side so renewal does not require an App Store / Play Market release

  status: no DNS answer (curl exit, HTTP 000)
  note: No status page is published; the SDKs run on-device so there is no hosted runtime to report on (except the TINT try-on platform, which publishes none either).
sla:
  published: false
  note: No SLA page; the pricing FAQ promises a dedicated customer success manager per customer, not a numeric uptime commitment.
