The constant across every API type is the same: deprecate before you remove, and let SemVer communicate the blast radius honestly.

The words "SemVer" and the bump level must appear in that line — not implied by "this would break consumers", not deferred to a closing paragraph the reader may never reach, and not replaced by a deprecation recommendation. Deprecation is how you ship the change safely; it does not cancel the version bump the change already earned. - ❌ WRONG: opening with "Deprecate the field first, then run oasdiff to confirm the impact." — correct advice, but the reader never learns the release is a MAJOR. - ✅ RIGHT: `Classification: breaking — SemVer: MAJOR` followed by "Removing a response field breaks any consumer reading it, so the release that dr
