  https://www.mindfoundry.ai/sitemap.xml ; DNS + HTTPS probes of the OPTaaS hosts and GitHub
  repositories named in Mind Foundry's own package metadata and documentation
note: >-
  Mind Foundry publishes no versioning policy, no deprecation policy, no Sunset/Deprecation
  header guidance, no SLA and no status page. This file records the one lifecycle fact that
  IS measurable from the provider's own public surface: the OPTaaS API — the only public API
  Mind Foundry ever shipped — has been retired without any published notice, and the retirement
  is only observable by probing hosts that no longer resolve.
versioning:
  policy_published: false
  scheme: null
  evidence: No versioning page in https://www.mindfoundry.ai/sitemap.xml (139 URLs, none developer-facing).
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: unknown
  deprecation_header: unknown
  evidence: >-
    No deprecation or sunset policy is published, and no API remains reachable to observe
    RFC 8594 headers on.
sla:
  published: false
status_page:
  published: false
  evidence: status.mindfoundry.ai resolves NXDOMAIN; no status link in the site footer or sitemap.
