  Live unauthenticated reads of registry.npmjs.org and pypi.org/pypi/<pkg>/json for every
  registry-published package, plus api.github.com repo + tag metadata for the
  GitHub-distributed mobile SDKs in the github.com/lithiumtech organization (GitHub-verified,
  display name "Khoros"). First-party status is asserted only where the npm maintainer set or
  the repository owner resolves to lithiumtech / flow-ai / an IgniteTech-Trilogy distribution
  account.

  Client libraries and SDKs for the Lithium / Khoros platform. The Community plugin SDK still
  ships under the original `lithium-sdk` name and carries the `li` CLI (see
  ../cli/lithium-cli.yml). Brand Messenger ships native iOS, Android, React Native and Flutter
  SDKs; Khoros Flow ships the flow.ai JavaScript SDK and message templates; the Aurora
  community platform ships `khoros-aurora-sdk`. Currency is uneven: only `khoros-aurora-sdk`
  and the Brand Messenger distributions have shipped in 2026. The two SDKs that carry the
  Lithium name itself — `lithium-sdk` (npm, 1.11.0, last published 2022-10-31) and
  `li-android-sdk` (last tag v1.2.0, repo last pushed 2023-05) — have not been released in
  over three years while the APIs they wrap are still documented and served.

      Latest npm release is over three years old (checked 2026-08-13 against
      registry.npmjs.org). The GitHub repository was last pushed 2026-04-15 and its newest
      tag is v1.4.1, so the repo tags do not track the published npm versions.

      The package declares repository github.com/lithiumtech/react-native-brandmessenger-sdk,
      but that repository returns HTTP 404 to the GitHub API (probed 2026-08-13) — the source
      is private or has been removed, so only the published tarball is available.

      Community-maintained (not first-party) Python library for managing a Khoros Communities

registries_checked:
  - {registry: npm, endpoint: 'https://registry.npmjs.org/<pkg>', result: 5 first-party packages}
  - {registry: pypi, endpoint: 'https://pypi.org/pypi/<pkg>/json', result: no first-party package (one community package)}
  - {registry: maven-central, result: none}

  - {registry: packagist, result: none}
  - {registry: crates.io, result: none}
  - {registry: pub.dev, result: none (the Flutter SDK is GitHub-only)}

notes:
  - >-
    No first-party package was found on Maven Central, NuGet, pkg.go.dev, RubyGems, Packagist,
    crates.io or pub.dev; the native mobile SDKs are distributed via GitHub repositories rather
    than language registries, which is why five entries carry `published: null` — there is no
    registry metadata endpoint to date them, and the GitHub tag is the only version signal.
  - >-
    The github.com/lithiumtech organization is GitHub-verified and its display name is
    "Khoros" — it is the surviving first-party code home for the Lithium lineage.
