  Mission Bio ships libraries and instruments, not a hosted web API, so its lifecycle
  contract is a PACKAGE lifecycle (conda versions on the missionbio channel + versioned
  Sphinx docs), not an HTTP API lifecycle. There is no URI/header API version, no
  Sunset/Deprecation header surface, and no published SLA.
versioning:
  scheme: semver
  applies_to: conda packages on the `missionbio` Anaconda channel

    note: >-
      Older Mosaic doc trees stay online, which is a real backward-compatibility
      affordance for users pinned to an older release.
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  note: >-
    No written deprecation or support-window policy is published. Breaking changes are
    announced only in the Mosaic release notes and are visible as major-version bumps —
    e.g. 3.0.0 renamed `apply_filter` to `filter_variants` and removed the legacy loom
    conversion and CSV merge functions; 3.4.0 relocated plotting to
    `missionbio.plotting` and NSP to `missionbio.demultiplex.protein.nsp`; 3.17.0
    raised the minimum Python from 3.8 to 3.10.
  observed_breaking_changes:
  - {version: 3.17.0, change: minimum Python raised 3.8 -> 3.10}
  - {version: 3.4.0, change: plotting moved to missionbio.plotting; NSP moved to missionbio.demultiplex.protein.nsp}
  - {version: 3.0.0, change: apply_filter renamed filter_variants; loom conversion and CSV merge removed}

    No status.missionbio.com and no third-party status page was found; the host does
    not resolve. Therefore NO `StatusPage` pointer is wired in apis.yml.
