  openapi/gist-answers-api-openapi.yml, https://platform.gist.ai/llms.txt,
  https://platform.gist.ai/docs/about-gist-services, plus live probes on 2026-08-12
note: >-
  The lifecycle posture is thin and that is the finding. Gist ships a versioned API and a live
  health endpoint, but publishes no changelog, no deprecation policy, no SLA and no status page.
  No StatusPage or Deprecation pointer is emitted in apis.yml, because neither exists.
versioning:
  scheme: uri-path
  current: v1
  docs: https://platform.gist.ai/reference/get_v1-health
  policy_url: null
  note: >-
    The OpenAPI's own servers block is the relative string "/v1" and every path repeats the "/v1"
    prefix, so the published document names no host. The callable form verified on 2026-08-12 is
    https://api.gist.ai + the path as written.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: unknown
  deprecation_header: unknown
  note: No deprecation or sunset policy is published anywhere on gist.ai, platform.gist.ai or prorata.ai.

  observation: >-
    Probed live on 2026-08-12 and returned status "unhealthy": database, redis, inference,
    publishers, questions and document reported "operational", while spotlight, fasttapir and
    c2gen reported "failed" with the error "Organization ID is required for requests". That reads
    as an unauthenticated-probe artefact of the health check itself rather than an outage, but it
    is recorded as observed. A public health endpoint that self-reports "unhealthy" to every
    anonymous caller is a real operational-transparency defect worth reporting to the provider.

    Reported "healthy" with per-dependency detail (eas_token_manager, classifier, bloom_filter,
    rabbitmq) for the Gist Ads display service.

    The developer hub exposes per-page updatedAt timestamps in its markdown front matter, which is
    the closest thing to a dated change record. Newest observed 2025-10-26 (ads-within-gist-answers),
    oldest 2025-06-18 (prorata-ai-crawler-bot).
