  surfaces.

deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  detail: >-
    FreeWheel announces deprecations as dated changelog entries and MRM Release
    Guides, but publishes no deprecation POLICY — no notice period, no support
    window, no RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation header support, and no `deprecated:
    true` flag on any of the 171 harvested operations. Because there is no
    published policy page, no Deprecation pointer is wired in apis.yml.

status_page:
  url: null
  detail: >-
    A Statuspage tenant exists at https://freewheel.statuspage.io/ but it is
    deactivated: the page returns HTTP 200 with the title "Freewheel NOC
    Dashboard Status - Page Inactive", and its summary API returns 401 "Your page
    is inactive." status.freewheel.com and status.freewheel.tv do not resolve. No
    StatusPage pointer is wired in apis.yml, because there is no working status
    page to point at.

support:

    Support is account-team based; the documentation repeatedly directs
    developers to "contact your FreeWheel account team" rather than to a public
    channel.
