description: >-
  Lifecycle profile for the Vanilla (Higher Logic Vanilla) API v2. The API is
  versioned in the URI path (/api/v2); the platform ships on YYYY.NNN release
  trains with staged rollout (Staging -> Production -> Enterprise). No public
  deprecation policy or Sunset/Deprecation header (RFC 8594) support is
  documented; deprecations surface per-operation in the platform-generated
  OpenAPI (deprecated: true) and in release notes.
versioning:
  scheme: uri-path
  current: v2
  docs: https://success.vanillaforums.com/kb/articles/40-api-v2-overview
  notes: New endpoints are announced in release notes as they are completed (API-first strategy).
deprecation:
  policy_url: null
  sunset_header: false
  notes: No published deprecation policy; the /statuses endpoints are flagged deprecated in the OpenAPI.
