  Motadata publishes dated per-version release notes for both products in its documentation
  site. These are PRODUCT release notes, not API change logs — no entry in the window reviewed
  records an API contract change, a deprecation, or a removal, and neither product publishes an
  API versioning or deprecation policy alongside them.

    current_version: 10.0.0
    note: >-
      Motadata's own agent skill states supported ObserveOps server versions are 8.2.7 and later,
      verified against 8.2.7 and 10.0.0, and warns that behavior differs between them.

    note: >-
      The CLI ships a CHANGELOG.md in its repository (github.com/pmg-motadata/cli), which has no
      public repos, so only the npm release history is publicly readable.

    breaking: unknown
    note: >-
      Major-version release. Motadata's own tooling documents behavioral differences between
      8.2.7 and 10.0.0 (for example the monitor status bucket set - 8.2.7 has FAIL, 10.0.0 does
      not), so there ARE observable API-affecting changes across the major, but they are not
      published as an API change log.
window: >-
  Recent only. The ServiceOps index lists every version from 7.0 forward; only the current
  release is transcribed here.
