  Ovation ships dated, named seasonal product release posts on its own site. This is a
  PRODUCT changelog, not an API changelog — Ovation publishes no API version history,
  no dated API versions, and no breaking-change notices, because it publishes no API
  reference. The entries below are the release posts located by walking Ovation's
  WordPress post sitemap; the live posts are the source of truth.
versioning:
  scheme: seasonal-named-release
  pattern: '<Season> <Year> Release'
  current: Spring 2026
  current_date: '2026-05-27'
  api_versioning: none-published
  api_versioning_note: >-
    No API version scheme is published. The API host answers on unversioned paths and
    on /v1 and /v2, but all of them return 403 to anonymous callers, so no version
    convention can be confirmed without credentials.
cadence:
  observed: roughly seasonal, 1-4 per year
  gaps: >-
    Spring 2025 (Jul), Summer 2025 (Aug), Fall 2025 (Oct), then a gap to Spring 2026
    (May). No Winter 2025/26 release post exists and no Summer 2026 release post had
    been published as of 2026-08-13.

        API User Management. This is the ONLY public, first-party statement anywhere on
        Ovation's surface that an Ovation API exists and is usable by a customer. It
        names a user-management capability and nothing else — no base URL, no operation
        list, no authentication scheme, no reference link. Recorded verbatim.
