# Sequence an API deprecation warning

Illustrative planning brief; no automatic product import.

Illustrative planning case: An endpoint is scheduled for retirement without evidence that its remaining callers have received the change notice.

## Decision

Link retirement to caller evidence and an accepted support boundary.

## Owned work

- Identify active callers
  - Owner role: Release investigator
  - Acceptance evidence: A bounded observation interval records client identities safely.
- Prepare replacement guidance
  - Owner role: Migration engineer
  - Acceptance evidence: The new endpoint covers the callers' required semantics.
- Review retirement gate
  - Owner role: Release reviewer
  - Acceptance evidence: Remaining supported callers have a migration or exception decision.

## Workflow

1. Identify active caller types over a stated observation interval without exposing credentials or private payloads.
2. Compare the replacement endpoint with each supported caller’s required semantics and prepare migration guidance.
3. Record migration or exception decisions for remaining callers before the retirement owner accepts removal.

## Judgment

Do not retire a supported caller by assuming silence means absence.


## Filled illustrative release coordination record

The synthetic observation finds four clients: three migrate and one scheduled monthly client has not yet exercised the replacement. Retirement waits through its reviewed test window. The notice retains the semantic difference in pagination, rather than merely replacing a URL. Silence from the fourth client is not counted as acceptance.
Decision: Link retirement to caller evidence and an accepted support boundary.
Review boundary: Do not retire a supported caller by assuming silence means absence.
This example uses synthetic conditions. Replace its observations with project evidence and record any changed assumptions before adopting the plan.


## Workflow questions

### How long should caller observation last?

Cover the known usage cycles; daily traffic cannot establish that a monthly caller is absent.

### Does a replacement URL prove migration readiness?

No. Callers must verify the required contract, including meaningful differences and failure behavior.
