Rationale

Historically, this endpoint and view were intended to confirm whether or not pathways were configured properly for a Program. This appears to have only been used with the legacy frontend pages for Learner Record, which were removed in August 2023/Quince.

Any attempt to hit this endpoint now results in an exception because the legacy views are gone:

Traceback (most recent call last):
...
    raise ImproperlyConfigured(
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: TemplateResponseMixin requires either a definition of 'template_name' or an implementation of 'get_template_names()'

Removal

• the endpoint route in urls.py (and the corresponding import, of course)
• the view itself

Replacement

There is no plan to replace this. We haven’t heard any complaints on this since removing the legacy pages so the assumption is that this has not been in use by anybody.

Deprecation

No response

Migration

No response
