versioning:
  scheme: uri-path
  semver: true
  current: v2
  docs: https://help.expeditors.com/globalhelp/shipment_api/Version_Policy.htm
  note: >-
    The API follows semantic versioning — MAJOR for incompatible changes, MINOR
    for backwards-compatible additions, PATCH for backwards-compatible fixes.
    Only the major version appears in the base path (e.g. /v2).
deprecation:
  policy_url: https://help.expeditors.com/globalhelp/shipment_api/Version_Policy.htm
  policy: Previous major versions are hosted for six (6) months after supersession, then decommissioned.
  window_months: 6
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  note: >-
    A stated calendar window exists, but Expeditors documents no RFC 8594
    Sunset or Deprecation response headers, so the retirement clock is not
    machine-readable at runtime.
sla:
  url: null
  uptime_target: null
  note: No published SLA or uptime commitment was found on the public developer surface.
status_page: null
status_page_note: >-
  No status page. Service interruptions and releases are communicated two ways
  only — a "System Notifications" block on the API Developer Center landing
  page, and email to the business and technical contacts supplied at
  registration. Both are documented at
  https://help.expeditors.com/globalhelp/shipment_api/Notifications.htm

  note: A health endpoint exists but is token-gated, so it is not an anonymous availability signal.
