  rfc8594:
    sunset_header: false
    deprecation_header: false
    note: Forem signals deprecation with an RFC 7234 Warning 299, not the RFC 8594 Sunset or Deprecation headers.
      No removal date is published for V0 — "a future release" is the only commitment — so a client cannot compute
      a migration deadline.
  deprecated_operations_in_spec: 0
  note: 'No operation in the V1 OpenAPI carries `deprecated: true`. The deprecation is whole-version (V0), not per-operation.'
status_page:
  url: https://status.dev.to
  title: DEV Status
  provider: Atlassian Statuspage
  http_status: 200
  note: Confirmed live 2026-09-17. dev.to/security explicitly names status.dev.to as Atlassian-hosted.
sla:
  published: false
  note: No SLA or uptime commitment is published for the API. DEV is a free community platform.
release_cadence:
  changelog_published: false
  note: No dated API changelog exists. github.com/forem/forem publishes no GitHub Releases (the releases API returns
    an empty array) and its CHANGELOG.md contains a single 2021-07-23 line, "Initial versioned release". https://dev.to/changelog
    is a podcast page, not a product changelog. No ChangeLog pointer is emitted, because asserting one would credit
    DEV with a surface it does not serve.
source_availability:
  open_source: true
  repository: https://github.com/forem/forem
  note: Forem is open source, so API changes are observable in the commit history even though no changelog is curated.
