note: >-
  Extole's client-side surface is a TAG-AND-ZONE model rather than a web-component element library.
  One loader script (core.js) is placed on every page; marketing tags then mark the places where
  Extole renders promotional content, and event tags mark the actions Extole rewards. The rendered
  units are "zones", whose creative is configured server-side in the campaign and fetched at runtime,
  so the embedded surface is data-driven rather than a fixed catalog of named components. Two things
  follow that matter to an integrator and are recorded as facts, not guesses: the loader is served from
  the BRAND's own program domain (share.brand.com or brand.extole.io), not from a shared Extole CDN, so
  there is no versioned public package URL to pin; and the script is unpinned — it always floats to
  whatever core.js the program domain currently serves.

  components:
  - name: Core Tag
    role: loader
    description: Contains Extole's JavaScript library. Placed once on every page where Extole will
      operate. Activates the Extole system, makes other Extole tags work, and detects arrival via a
      referral so the friend landing experience is served automatically.

    versioning: unpinned
    versioning_note: The src carries no version segment or query. A consumer cannot tell which build
      they are loading, and neither can we — recorded as a finding rather than left blank.
  - name: Marketing Tags
    role: placement
    description: Placed throughout the site to mark the locations where promotional content is served
      (for example "Refer and Get $20"). Each resolves to a zone rendered by the campaign.
    docs: https://docs.extole.com/docs/marketing-tags-for-marketers
  - name: Event Tags
    role: tracking
    description: Used to track and reward specific user actions such as register and purchase.
- family: Zones
  kind: server-rendered-embed
  description: The rendered unit of Extole creative. Zones are fetched at runtime and their content is
    configured in the campaign, so the catalog of zones is per-program rather than fixed.

  note: Both web-friendly endpoints (which allocate a token and manage cookies automatically, and
    typically return 200) and API endpoints (which expect the caller to manage authentication and
    handle errors explicitly) are published. See docs/reference authentication overview.
