Vantage agreement
reachable from all 3 vantages, which are 3 hosts on one network (github-actions): one network's view sampled 3 times, not 3 independent networks

Vantages on one network are one network’s view sampled several times. A rule applied to that network’s address space reaches every one of them at once and reads exactly like agreement.

Interpretation

A grade describes two public discovery documents at one point in time. It does not inspect patient data, authenticated behavior, or clinical quality.

Declared app-to-server access

What the endpoint's own documents declare about app-to-server access, observed on this run. Nothing here was requested or exercised, and none of it is graded. An absent field is reported as absent, not as a refusal: a document that does not mention a field has not said anything about it.

Registry provenance

How this entry was verified

live CapabilityStatement fetch (fhirVersion 4.0.1, 8 resource types); publisher 'Cigna, Inc.', implementation description 'ProviderDirectory API', implementation.url matching the requested base, on a Cigna controlled domain; unauthenticated by design per the Provider Directory API requirement, which Cigna's guide states in those words. Corrected 2026-08-19: this entry stood on https://p-hi2.digitaledge.cigna.com/ProviderDirectory/v1 from the 2026-08-05 wave. That address still answers identically, but Cigna's developer portal no longer prints it anywhere; the Provider Directory implementation guide prints the address above instead, and the older host survives only as an unused token-substitution value inside the portal's JavaScript bundle. Both addresses were fetched on 2026-08-19 and both answered. The entry follows what the organization publishes, so it moved; the availability and drift record is keyed on the endpoint id and therefore spans both addresses for this one surface (recorded 2026-08-05). Re-checked 2026-08-19: live CapabilityStatement fetch of the newly documented address from the davis-ca residential vantage; fhirVersion 4.0.1, 8 resource types, publisher 'Cigna, Inc.'.
