  First-party Candid Health client libraries. Candid generates all four API SDKs
  from its OpenAPI definition with Fern (github.com/candidhealth/fern), which is
  why Python, Node, Ruby and .NET all ship the same version number on the same
  day. A separate React component library (Vitals) is published under the
  @candidhealth npm scope and is pre-1.0.

      Vitals, Candid Health's system-level React UI component library. This is a
      UI kit, not an API client — it is catalogued in components/ as well. Still
      pre-1.0 (alpha channel); the demo app is github.com/candidhealth/react-vitals-sandbox.

notes:
  - All four API SDKs released 1.30.0 on 2026-08-01 — the generator publishes them in lockstep, so SDK currency tracks the API directly.
  - Candid's docs state that if your language is not supported you should call the REST endpoints directly.
  - Exponential backoff on HTTP 429 is implemented inside every official SDK.
