  current: wp/v2
  docs: null
  policy_url: null
  note: >-
    The version is the WordPress namespace and moves with the site's WordPress upgrades. ODNI publishes
    no versioning policy, makes no compatibility commitment, and gives no notice of change.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  note: >-
    No deprecation policy, no RFC 8594 Sunset or Deprecation headers, no announcement channel. No
    Deprecation pointer is wired in apis.yml, because no deprecation policy exists.

  ODNI publishes no status page. No StatusPage pointer is wired in apis.yml. Probed status.odni.gov and
  the site navigation; nothing exists.

domain_change:
  event: Primary domain moved from dni.gov to odni.gov
  observed: '2026-09-03'
  reconfirmed: '2026-09-06'
  detail: >-
    https://www.dni.gov/ now returns HTTP 301 to https://www.odni.gov/ — a different registrable domain.
    The apis.yml Website pointer was moved to https://www.odni.gov/ in this pass. dni.gov redirects are
    in place at the domain root, but see removed_surfaces below: they do NOT preserve deep links.
  evidence:
    - {url: 'https://www.dni.gov/', status: 301, location: 'https://www.odni.gov/'}
platform_change:
  event: Site rebuilt on WordPress
  detail: >-
    www.odni.gov is now a WordPress site fronted by Akamai. The rebuild is what created the public
    content API catalogued in this repo, and it is also what removed the IC technical specifications
    below. The site advertises Download Monitor 5.1.14 as its document-management plugin.
removed_surfaces:
  - name: IC Technical Specifications (ISM.XML, NTK.XML, IC-ID.XML, IC-SF.XML, IC-Docbook.XML, ISMCAT, IC-GENC)
    status: removed
    severity: high
    detail: >-
      ODNI's IC Chief Information Officer published the Intelligence Community technical specifications —
      real, machine-readable W3C XML Schemas released for public use without restriction — at
      /index.php/who-we-are/organizations/ic-cio/ic-technical-specifications/... . Those pages no longer
      exist. This was the only genuine specification-publishing program ODNI ran, and it is the single
      largest loss in this record.
    failure_mode: soft-404
    failure_detail: >-
      The legacy URLs do not 404 and do not redirect to a replacement. Every /index.php/who-we-are/...
      path returns HTTP 200 serving the ODNI "About" page (211,285 bytes, <title>About - Office of the
      Director of National Intelligence</title>) — confirmed with a negative-control path that cannot
      exist, which returns the identical body. A link checker, a crawler or an agent reads these dead
      specification URLs as live pages.

      - {url: 'https://www.dni.gov/index.php/who-we-are/organizations/ic-cio/ic-technical-specifications', status: 200, bytes: 211285, note: 'serves the About page'}

      Neither mirror is served by ODNI, so neither is recorded in this repo as an ODNI contract. Recorded
      here as lifecycle evidence only.
  - name: OpenGov / Open Government page
    status: removed
    detail: >-
      The legacy /index.php/opengov page is gone with the rest of the old site; the rebuilt sitemap
      contains no open-government, open-data, developer or API page of any kind.

    ODNI runs no changelog or release notes for anything catalogued here. The RSS feed (536 items) is the
    only dated, machine-readable publication stream, and it covers content rather than the API.
