  npm registry search, GitHub org enumeration via the GitHub API
  (MeredithCorp, People-INC, Peopleinc), and the People Inc corporate site.
description: |
  People Inc publishes NO first-party client libraries in any public package
  registry. This is an honest zero, not an unchecked field: npm, and the
  company's own GitHub organizations, were enumerated and returned nothing
  first-party. There is no API to write an SDK against, so the absence is
  consistent with the rest of the profile rather than a gap in it.

    note: |
      Every hit belongs to an unrelated party (a 2013 `dotdash` from
      dotskapes, `@whynotearth/meredith-axios`, k4m4's `dcipher` hash tool,
      and assorted personal-name packages). One package, `migration-pipeline`,
      is published from github.com/TimeInc — Time Inc was acquired by Meredith
      in 2018 and its assets came to Dotdash Meredith in 2021 — but it is a
      generic 2023 migration utility with no relationship to a People Inc API
      and is NOT recorded as first-party.

          A FORK of the BBC's sqs-consumer, untouched since August 2021 — four
          months before the Dotdash/Meredith merger closed and four years
          before the People Inc rebrand. It is not a People Inc library and is
          not counted as a package. apis.yml carries a GitHubRepository
          pointer at it; that pointer describes the org's only public repo
          accurately but should not be read as an SDK.

absences:
  - id: no-sdk
    detail: |
      No official SDK exists in any language, because there is no
      authenticated API surface to wrap. No `SDKs` pointer is emitted.
  - id: no-cdn-distribution
    detail: |
      No first-party embeddable/CDN-distributed component was found either
      (no unpkg/jsDelivr build, no versioned script tag on the corporate
      site). Nothing to record a pinned or unpinned version for.
