note: >-
  Google publishes no Indexing-API-specific changelog. The two dated sources that do carry
  Indexing-API-relevant change are the Search Central documentation updates feed and the generated client
  library release notes. The single most useful finding is that the last entry naming an actual
  Indexing API contract change is the Ruby client's v0.14.0 (2023-10-08), "Regenerated from discovery
  document revision 20230927" — every release since is a generator-version bump, not an API change. The
  API surface has been two operations throughout.
