New coverageIBM coverage restored and extendedIBM

Restored 124 IBM families (282 part numbers) that the 2026-07-13 automated refresh had dropped after IBM's lifecycle search API returned a truncated result set — every restored product's IBM lifecycle page was verified still live before restoration. A fuller re-harvest also added 5 new IBM families. IBM coverage now 285 families / 753 part numbers. The refresh pipeline now merges instead of replacing, and a no-shrink CI gate blocks any refresh that would silently reduce vendor coverage. source ↗

EOSL date changedWeekly refresh (2026-07-13)Multiple

Weekly automated sweep re-verified Cisco, HPE, Juniper, Fortinet and IBM against their vendor sources. This refresh also temporarily dropped 124 IBM families due to a truncated IBM API response; see the 2026-07-14 entry for the restoration and the pipeline fixes.

Why this exists: lifecycle dates are treated as static, but vendors amend bulletins, add part numbers, and occasionally move dates. This page is the audit trail. Every entry ties back to the affected model page and its vendor source.
