note: >-
  MGID's publisher-facing product is delivered as client-side embed components
  rather than through the REST API — the REST surface only reports on inventory
  that these components serve. Distinct from packages/mgid-packages.yml, which
  catalogues installable libraries.
families:
  - name: Simple JS widget code
    kind: script-embed
    status: current
    description: >-
      MGID's website-level installation tag, a single JavaScript include that
      renders one or more widget containers on the page. Introduced as the
      replacement for the older Short Code, positioned as lighter weight with
      fewer publisher-side steps.
    replaces: Short Code

    versioned_distribution: false
    version: null
    version_note: >-
      The tag is copied out of the publisher dashboard per widget and is not
      distributed through a registry or a pinned CDN URL, so a publisher cannot
      tell which build they are running and neither can we.

summary:
  families: 6
  registry_distributed: 1
  unpinned_distributions: 5
gaps:
  - >-
    Only react-mgid-widget is registry-distributed and version-pinned. The Simple
    JS tag, the GTM templates and the AMP element are all unpinned, so a
    publisher has no way to identify or pin the build they are serving.
  - No embeddable dashboard or hosted reporting surface is published.
