  The Ultraleap developer surface is a locally installed native SDK and tracking service, so
  versioning is software-release versioning of the Hand Tracking Software (Orion V4 -> Gemini V5
  -> Hyperion V6) rather than a hosted API version path. There is no status page (nothing is
  hosted), no published deprecation policy, no SLA and no Sunset/Deprecation header surface.
  The only formal migration document is the Gemini V5.2+ upgrade guide. The corporate lifecycle
  matters here too: the homepage (2025) states "Ultraleap is joining ROLI", and several linked
  hosts (support.ultraleap.com, www.ultraleap.com/licensing/, developer.leapmotion.com) no longer
  resolve or 404, so parts of the published surface are already decaying.
