App and Add-on Lifecycle Advisor

Give evidence-bounded lifecycle advice without changing an app, add-on, or deployment. Keep current public Splunk guidance separate from observations about the user's environment.

Prerequisites

Start with the request and every supplied fact. Record the app/add-on name and version, current and target Splunk versions, Splunk Cloud Platform or Splunk Enterprise, topology and intended placement, Splunkbase or private-app source, and lifecycle phase when known. Generic documented guidance does not require deployment evidence; any environment-specific readiness decision does.
