  summary: NOT PUBLISHED BY TARGET. This document was written by the API Evangelist 2026-05 profile sweep, not harvested from a Target source. Every operation it declares was probed against the host it names on 2026-08-27 and every one returned HTTP 404 from Target's own gateway. Treat this file as a modelled sketch of what a Target partner API might look like, never as Target's contract, and do not derive further artifacts from it.

    detail: A REAL Target route — it exists and is gated, proving the 404s above are route-absence rather than a blanket edge denial.

    status: 410
    detail: A REAL retired Target route — 410 Gone, again proving the gateway distinguishes absent from present.
