    - item: Legacy API access tokens (minted before April 2025)
      superseded_by: scoped tokens
      version: '13'
      status: still usable; read/write or read-only only, no fine-grained scopes
      sunset_date: not published
  gaps:
    - No Sunset or Deprecation response headers (RFC 8594) are emitted or documented.
    - No retirement dates are published for versions 11, 12 or 13, or for the legacy token
      model, so a consumer cannot plan a migration from the published record alone.
    - The word "deprecated" does not appear as an operation-level flag in any of the 69
      published OpenAPI documents.
