Makes sense now why integrations sometimes break unexpectedly. Conflicting info in official docs is a real problem

have you seen a similar situation before?

Seen it a lot in enterprise environments. Teams maintain parallel Confluence spaces and internal API docs. They drift constantly. The newer page is correct, but search still surfaces the old one first

Love the concept. Just curious if and how you guys determine which source is correct in case of a conflict

We do! An org can define precedence rules, but the engine looks at things like recency, authority, majority voting etc. We also flag criticality to raise manual reviews when needed.

This definitely solves a good problem. Company don’t keep generally good confluence docs and documentation. Somehow if there is common source of truth it helps to entire org in a company. But I was wandering if it will be helpful or not for external world because I feel companies usually double check any information before releasing it publicly ..especially related to code base.(Just a thought).
