What the vendor announced

The evidence discusses a node SDK release page and a note that “The registry no longer lists this version.” It does not describe a concrete vendor documentation change, a deprecation, rate limit, or pricing/quota update. The explicit change is that a version is no longer listed in the registry, but no specific replacement endpoint or deadline is provided.

The registry no longer lists this version.
