description: >-
  Lifecycle record for the Girder/HistomicsUI REST API that Emory's biomedical imaging group ran
  at computablebrain.emory.edu. It is the source of 22 of the OpenAPI contracts in this repo, and
  as of 2026-09-01 the host no longer serves it.

  Host is under Emory's own registrable domain (emory.edu) and resolves inside Emory-owned address
  space (170.140.138.156). The source contract self-identifies as the Emory Digital Slide Archive
  and was converted from the live Swagger 2.0 document at /api/v1/describe. The software stack is
  open-source Girder / HistomicsUI / large_image (Kitware); the deployment, the data and the
  endpoint were Emory's, so the contract is correctly attributed to Emory.

      Swagger 2.0 document retrieved from https://computablebrain.emory.edu/api/v1/describe and

      Service no longer reachable. The contracts are retained as a historical, correctly attributed
      Emory surface rather than deleted; the dead Documentation pointer was removed from each
      apis[] entry and every entry carries x-status: retired.

repair_note: >-
  Also repaired this run: refine-openapis had welded the first tag's name into the info.title of
  the other 21 split contracts ("Girder REST API (Emory Digital Slide Archive) annotation
  Assetstore API"). This is the `misbased` class and it is OURS, not a vendor's. Titles re-based
  from openapi/_original/emory-digital-slide-archive.yaml; servers[] and paths[] were already
  correct on every split and were not touched.
