versioning:
  scheme: path
  pattern: https://api.hiddenroad.com/v{major}/
  current: v0
  observed: >-
    /v0/ is the only version segment referenced by the Operational Portal bundle and the only
    one that routes. v0 has been the live major since at least the API suite's general release
    on 2023-05-04 — a three-year-old zero-major on a production institutional surface.

  note: >-
    Neither Hidden Road nor Ripple runs a public status page for the prime brokerage surface.
    For a firm clearing $3T+ annually this is the most conspicuous operational-transparency gap
    in the profile.

  event: >-
    hiddenroad.com is retired as a content site. EVERY path — including the firm's own
    regulatory disclosures, its responsible-disclosure policy, its news archive and
    /robots.txt — returns 301 to the single URL https://ripple.com/products/prime-brokerage/.
  impact: >-
    This is a blanket soft-404. Every historical Hidden Road URL now resolves 200 to a marketing
    page, so link-checkers see a live site while every specific document is unreachable. The
    API hosts (api.hiddenroad.com, auth.hiddenroad.com, static.hiddenroad.com,
    portal.ops.hiddenroad.com) are unaffected and still serve under the hiddenroad.com domain.
