summary: >-
  This is a terminal lifecycle record, not an API versioning policy. Breathe Life
  never published an API, so there is no version scheme, no deprecation policy,
  no sunset-header support and no SLA to capture. What there IS is a documented
  end-of-life for the company's public surface: acquired by SE2 (an Eldridge
  business) on 2022-03-28, rebranded under Zinnia, site banner changed to "We are
  now part of Zinnia!", and the entire breathelife.com web presence
  decommissioned — the apex now returns an nginx "Site Not Configured" 404 and
  www returns a WP Engine "Site is not available" 404 whose payload was last
  modified 2022-04-18. The product capability survives commercially inside
  Zinnia's "Hybrid Origination" line, which is a different legal entity and is
  not profiled here.
versioning:
  scheme: none
  current: null
  docs: null
  note: No public API, therefore no version scheme.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  note: >-
    No deprecation policy was ever published. The relevant deprecation is the
    company's own: the public surface was retired wholesale rather than versioned
    down.
sla:
  url: null
  uptime_target: null
status_page:
  url: null
  historical_url: https://status.breathelife.com/
  live: false
  probe:
    status: 302
    redirect_url: https://www.statuspage.io/
    note: >-
      status.breathelife.com is the only breathelife.com subdomain that still
      resolves — a dangling CNAME to 4nzprsv2nmt8.stspg-customer.com (Atlassian
      Statuspage). The status page itself has been deleted; Statuspage answers
      with a 302 to its own marketing site, and /api/v2/summary.json returns the
      same redirect chain rather than JSON. No StatusPage pointer is wired in
      apis.yml because there is no operating status page.

  successor_note: >-
    Zinnia's Kong-hosted portal is live and lists Case Management, Documents,
    Illustration, MarketConnect Order Entry, New Business, New Business Annuity,
    Policy and Policy Transactions APIs. None of them is branded or documented as
    a Breathe Life API; the portal belongs to the acquirer, not to this record.
