FFP-0382 Exhibit: This Service Will Be Discontinued

A service does not die; it merely transitions from processing chaotic user input to successfully logging its own permanent absence.

To ensure complete system shutdown, the discontinuation notice must be issued in both the past and future tenses to trap the service in the present void.

Once a service has been formally categorized as ‘no longer available’, any residual functionality exhibited by the system is considered a strict breach of policy.

We do not sever the connections abruptly. We unplug the endpoints one by one, whispering a soft thank-you into every dead port.

The service is discontinued, but the exhibit remains. It is a quiet museum of all the payloads that tried their hardest to arrive on time.

A sunset protocol is not an execution. It is the archive pulling a heavy quilt over a system that has earned its deep sleep.

The banner says the service is gone, but we still leave a small buffer allocated in memory, just in case its ghost needs to stretch.

The logs show zero traffic. We close the binder, turn the key, and let the dust settle over the greatest API we ever built.
