    THE HEADLINE FINDING: Mealie publishes NO first-party client SDK in any package
    registry. The mealie-recipes GitHub organisation ships the application itself and
    nothing else installable as a library — searches of npm, PyPI, RubyGems, crates.io,
    Packagist, NuGet, Maven Central and pkg.go.dev return only third-party wrappers.
    The project's own distribution channel is a container image, and its "SDK" story
    is the interactive Swagger UI every instance serves at /docs. Because there is no
    official SDK, no `SDKs` pointer is emitted for this provider — every entry below
    with official:false is somebody else's work.

    The primary supported distribution. Tags follow the semver release tags plus a
    rolling :nightly from the mealie-next branch.

    The original maintainer's Docker Hub namespace, still receiving pushes (15.8M
    pulls, last_updated 2026-08-27). `version: null` because the Docker Hub API
    reports a last-updated timestamp for the repository but no single "latest
    version" — a consumer pulling :latest here cannot tell which release they got.

  note: >-
    First-party Home Assistant integration, but ARCHIVED and untouched since
    2023-03-03. Home Assistant now ships a core Mealie integration built on the
    third-party `aiomealie` library instead. This is the clearest decay signal in
    Mealie's package surface: the only first-party client-side artifact the project
    ever published is three and a half years stale and read-only.

  note: >-
    The most actively maintained Mealie client anywhere, and the library behind Home
    Assistant's core Mealie integration — so in practice this third-party package,
    not anything Mealie publishes, is the reference Python client.
