note: >-
  This is the complete published changelog, not a recent window. Google's Vault API release
  notes page carries exactly three dated entries and the newest is from June 2020. The API
  itself is not frozen — the Discovery document was regenerated on 2026-09-05 — so the gap is
  in the announcement channel rather than the contract. Anyone depending on release notes to
  detect Vault API change is watching a channel that has not moved in six years.

  - signal: Discovery document revision
    url: https://vault.googleapis.com/$discovery/rest?version=v1
    field: revision
    current: '20260905'
    note: >-
      The only reliable machine-readable change signal on this API. Diffing the Discovery
      document between revisions is how an integrator sees additive change that never reaches
      the release notes.
  - signal: Generated client library versions
    note: >-
      The Maven artifact pins the Discovery revision it was generated from
      (google-api-services-vault:v1-rev20260528-2.0.0), so registry releases are a second-hand
      record of contract change.

    note: Product-level Vault announcements land here rather than in the API release notes.
