  the United States. Big Lots filed for Chapter 11 in September 2024; a planned sale to Nexus Capital Management fell through,

x-coverage:
  state: none
  reason: not-a-software-company
  detail: Big Lots is a closeout discount retailer whose relaunched biglots.com is a WordPress marketing site (weekly ad,
    store locator, departments) that 404s on every developer, API, OpenAPI, agent-card and llms.txt path, blocks its own /wp-json/
    index with a 403, points vendors at Word-document routing guides on vwstores.com rather than an EDI or supplier API, and
    api./developer./help.biglots.com no longer resolve.
