  Cheerio is a library, not a hosted service: there is no status page, no SLA and no
  Sunset/Deprecation HTTP header surface, because there is no HTTP surface. Its lifecycle
  contract is semver plus the supported-versions table in SECURITY.md. No StatusPage or
  Deprecation pointer is emitted — asserting either would credit the project with an
  operational surface it does not run.

  note: >-
    No published deprecation policy or sunset schedule. Deprecations have historically
    been announced in major-release notes — the 1.0.0 release removed the deprecated
    default Cheerio instance and static methods and simplified import paths, with the
    migration described in the release notes and the 1.0 announcement post.
