summary: >-
  SniffCat runs a real, third-party-hosted status page with per-day uptime history and an incident
  archive, and it versions the API in the URI path. It publishes NO deprecation policy, NO Sunset or
  Deprecation header contract (RFC 8594), NO SLA and NO changelog. The whole platform is
  self-labelled "Early Access" / "open beta", which is itself the clearest lifecycle statement on the
  site.
maturity:
  stage: beta
  label: Early Access
  evidence: >-
    "Early Access" badge in the site header on every page; "🔧 Open Beta Testing — This platform is
    new and still in the beta testing phase. Some features may be temporarily unavailable or work
    with limited functionality."
  platform_version: 0.4.0
  api_version: 0.1.5
versioning:
  scheme: uri-path
  current: v1
  path: /api/v1
  policy_published: false
  breaking_change_policy: not published
  note: >-
    No statement of how long v1 will be supported, how a v2 would be introduced, or what counts as a
    breaking change.
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  rfc8594: false
  deprecated_operations: []
  note: >-
    No deprecation policy exists, so no Deprecation pointer is emitted for this provider. One
    endpoint is pre-announced rather than deprecated — POST /api/v1/bulk is documented with the body
    "Soon" and marked "coming soon" on the API index.
status_page:
  present: true
  url: https://status.sniffcat.com/
  status: 200
  provider: hosted status page (Statuspage-style)
  components:
  - name: SniffCat
    monitors: [sniffcat.com]
    state_at_probe: Operational
    uptime: 99.990%
  history: per-day operational/downtime history back to at least May 2026
  incidents_section: true
  maintenance_section: true
  subscribe: 'yes ("Get in touch")'
  machine_readable: false
  machine_readable_note: >-
    /summary.json, /api/v2/status.json and /history.json all return the HTML page rather than JSON,
    so the status surface is human-readable only — an agent cannot poll it.
  observed_incidents:
  - {date: '2026-05-22', impact: 'down 2 minutes'}
  - {date: '2026-05-31', impact: 'down 3 minutes'}

  - {url: 'https://sniffcat.com/blog', status: 404}
  note: >-
    No dated changelog or release notes. Version numbers appear only as bare strings on the homepage
    and at the API root, with no record of what changed between them.
sla:
  published: false
  note: >-
    No SLA, uptime commitment or support-response commitment. The docs promise a best-effort "we
    usually respond within 24 hours" on support tickets, which is a response expectation, not an SLA.
support:
  ticketing: https://sniffcat.com/tickets
  email: support@sniffcat.com
  community: https://discord.gg/S7NDzCzQTg
  response_expectation: usually within 24 hours
  note: The ticket system requires a login; the Discord invite and email are open.
terms:
  url: https://sniffcat.com/terms-of-use
  status: 200
  complete: false
  note: >-
    Self-labelled "This document has not yet been fully completed." Three usage rules only (report in
    English, no spam/duplicate flooding, no UDP reports). No commercial, liability or data-retention
    terms.
roadmap:
  page_published: false
  announced_features:
  - {feature: 'POST /api/v1/bulk (CSV bulk reporting)', status: coming soon, source: 'https://sniffcat.com/documentation/api/bulk'}
  - {feature: Official firewall integrations for dynamic IP blocking, status: coming soon, source: 'https://sniffcat.com/documentation/integrations'}
  - {feature: Suricata-To-SniffCat reporting module, status: coming soon, source: 'https://sniffcat.com/documentation/integrations'}
  - {feature: Fake report detection, status: soon, source: 'https://sniffcat.com/'}
  - {feature: 'Data export (JSON/CSV)', status: soon, source: 'https://sniffcat.com/'}
  note: >-
    These are scattered "coming soon" markers across the docs and homepage, not a roadmap page. No
    Roadmap pointer is emitted, because there is no roadmap surface to point at.
gaps:
- No deprecation or sunset policy, and no RFC 8594 header contract.
- No changelog or release notes, so version 0.1.5 -> 0.4.0 movement is unexplained.
- Status page is human-only — no JSON/RSS feed an agent or monitor can consume.
- Terms of Use explicitly incomplete.
