  notes RN-0025 Rev 2 — all fetched 2026-08-26.
name: Pillar Biosciences lifecycle
description: >-
  Lifecycle posture for Pillar Biosciences. There is no API to version, so this
  records the lifecycle of the PiVAT SOFTWARE product instead: a calendar-year
  version scheme, a public version portal that names the current release, and the
  absence of every runtime lifecycle signal an integrator would want.
api_versioning:
  applicable: false
  reason: Pillar publishes no API, so there is no API version scheme, header, or path segment.
product_versioning:
  product: PiVAT
  scheme: calendar
  pattern: 'YYYY.MINOR.PATCH'
  current_version: '2023.1.0'
  version_portal:
    url: https://pivat.pillar-biosciences.com/
    http_status: 200
    note: >-
      A static portal page that lists "Current Version" and links to the
      per-version host for that release (https://pivat2023-1.pillar-biosciences.com/).
      Probed 2026-08-26 that per-version host returned HTTP 503.
deprecation_policy:
  published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  note: >-
    No RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation header surface exists (no API), and no written
    end-of-life or version-support policy is published for PiVAT releases. The
    only end-of-life signal visible from outside is that a previous version host
    stops being linked from the version portal.
status_page:
  published: false
  url: null
  note: >-
    No status.pillarbiosci.com, no statuspage.io/Instatus/BetterStack page, and
    no uptime or incident history for cloud PiVAT was found. Cloud PiVAT is a
    HIPAA-scoped hosted service with no public availability reporting.
sla:
  published: false
  note: No public SLA or uptime commitment. Terms are presumably contractual; nothing is published.
support:
  channel: contact-form
  url: https://www.pillarbiosci.com/contact/
  http_status: 200
  note: A single corporate contact form. No developer support channel, forum, or community.
gaps:
  - No status page for cloud-based PiVAT.
  - No deprecation or version-support policy for PiVAT releases.
  - No SLA.
  - Per-version host pivat2023-1.pillar-biosciences.com returned 503 when probed 2026-08-26.
