summary: 'EarthOptics operates its API as a private backend for its own applications
  and publishes no lifecycle commitments of any kind — no versioning policy, no deprecation
  policy, no Sunset/Deprecation header support that could be observed, no SLA, no status
  page, and no changelog. Every field below is a recorded negative. No StatusPage,
  Deprecation, or ChangeLog pointer is emitted, because none is earned.'
versioning:
  scheme: none-observed
  current: null
  docs: null
  evidence: 'The only routed API prefix is /api/ with no version segment; /api/v1/
    and /api/v1/schema/ both return 404. Versioning cannot be confirmed without credentials.'
