Endpoint A • Check support dates first • Security fixes ended • Plan a dated upgrade • Bug fixes • Security fixes only • No upstream fixes • One major at a time
The Endpoint A badge stays fixed in its lane. The article's support-windows figure: a release bar in three segments, a solid Bug fixes segment, a glass Security fixes only segment and a dashed No upstream fixes segment open at its end, with two equal steps rising from the end of the solid segment to a plain block and One major at a time beside them. A cyan marker runs along the floor under the bar from the solid segment into the dashed one and turns hollow at the boundary, where a cut-off tick drops: Security fixes ended. Then the step path lights one step at a time and the plain block is outlined: Plan a dated upgrade.

Endpoint A • Compare whole stacks • Conventions built in • Pieces you assemble
Two equal dashed stack outlines stand side by side. The first fills as one single block whose faint seams show its layers already joined: Conventions built in. The second assembles from separate tiles dropping into place one by one: Pieces you assemble. Both end the same size and colour; neither is highlighted.

Endpoint A • Describe the workload first • Back office • Many live connections
Three workload cards rise below the badge, which does not move: a back office whose blank form rows appear (Back office), many live connections whose nodes light one by one (Many live connections), and an API layer under a typed frontend, a small screen on a thin layer with a blank name bar. No stack is attached to any card.

Endpoint A • Weigh what your team maintains • Who reviews this code? • Evidence, not anecdotes
A small team panel with three faceless member tokens docks beside the badge. Two open question cards rise, headed Who reviews this code? and Evidence, not anecdotes, each with empty dashed answer bars that keep crawling. Nothing is filled in.

Endpoint A • Test one real endpoint • Same criteria for both • Evidence before opinion • Criteria agreed first • Stack A • Stack B • Decision recorded later
The article's endpoint-trial figure: a blank Criteria agreed first sheet, a blank endpoint card, two identical benches named Stack A and Stack B, each with a lane and an empty panel, and an empty Decision recorded later slot. The criteria route traces to the card: Same criteria for both. The split pops and both branches trace at one pace; cyan traces run along both lanes at the same pace and stop at the two empty panels, which are outlined and stay empty. Dashed hand-offs stop before the empty slot: Evidence before opinion. No result appears.
An illustrative endpoint is judged on support dates, whole stacks, workload and team evidence, then built once in each stack against agreed criteria; no winner or benchmark is shown.
