  organization checks (2026-09-09)

note: >-
  FMCS ships no client libraries. No first-party SDK exists in any public registry, FMCS publishes no SDK
  or CLI page, and no verifiable FMCS GitHub organization exists. No SDKs pointer is wired in apis.yml,
  because there are no SDKs. The only substantive registry-adjacent result is third-party and is recorded
  below because it is the clearest available evidence of who actually consumes FMCS's published data.

third_party_redistribution:
  note: >-
    NOT an FMCS package and not counted above. It is recorded because it is the market's answer to the gap
    this record documents: FMCS publishes its most valuable dataset — the monthly F-7 collective bargaining
    notices — only as Excel workbooks, so a third party rebuilds it into a queryable database nightly.

      note: >-
        `version: null` / `published: null` recorded deliberately: this project is distributed as a GitHub
        repository and a Datasette instance, not through any package registry, so there is no registry
        metadata endpoint to read a version or release date from.

  reason: >-
    The github.com/fmcs account exists but shows no public repositories, no description, no website and no
    verified-organization badge, and it is not linked from any fmcs.gov page. Attributing it to the Federal
    Mediation and Conciliation Service would be a guess, so no GitHubOrganization pointer is wired.
