  reason: BaseCite intentionally exposes one organization and one upload per operation; no batch or bulk endpoint is advertised in v1.
x-basecite-api-lifecycle:
  policy_url: https://basecite.com/docs/developers#versioning-and-deprecation
  versioning: URL versioning under /api/v1/
  deprecation_notice: Retiring operations advertise Deprecation and Sunset response headers at least 90 days before removal.
  compatibility: Existing v1 operations remain backward-compatible during the published support window.

x-basecite-deprecation-policy: Breaking changes require a new /api/vN path. Deprecated fields remain documented for one version and emit Deprecation and Sunset headers before removal.
x-basecite-async-job-pattern: Long-running processing is represented by upload status polling and immutable sequence transitions; clients must not infer completion from elapsed time.
x-basecite-rate-limit:
  headers:
  - RateLimit-Limit
  - RateLimit-Remaining
  - RateLimit-Reset
  - Retry-After
  response: 429
x-basecite-pagination: List-like responses use explicit limit and cursor metadata when available; clients must not infer completeness from a truncated page.
