  negotiation: >-
    Version is discovered from /.well-known/ucp and echoed on every response as
    x-shopify-ucp-mcp-api-version. Rael does not publish a version-selection parameter of its own.
  note: >-
    The version is the UCP protocol version, set by the protocol and by Shopify's implementation of
    it — not a Rael-owned API version. Rael has no API of its own to version.
deprecation_policy:
  published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  detail: >-
    No RFC 8594 Sunset or Deprecation headers were returned, and Rael publishes no deprecation or
    breaking-change policy. The only signal that an older interface is on its way out is the
    supported_versions map in the UCP profile, which currently carries one prior version.
status_page:
  published: false
  detail: >-
    Rael runs no status page. The storefront's underlying platform reports at status.shopify.com,
    which is Shopify's page, not Rael's, so no StatusPage pointer is emitted.
sla:
  published: false
changelog:
  published: false
  detail: >-
    No dated changelog for the commerce interface. UCP version history is published by the protocol
    at https://ucp.dev, not by Rael.
