        info.version is empty in the published document, carrying the inline comment "TODO:
        figure out our aggregate API spec versioning strategy, this is here to pass the linter".
        This is a consequence of Confluent's per-API-group versioning model rather than an
        oversight, but it leaves the contract unversioned to any tool reading info.version.
