# SAIF.Business.Provider dependencies

## External dependencies
| Dependency | Version | Usage |

## Dependency risks and notes
- Internal SAIF package references use floating `[2,3)` version ranges in `packages.config`.
- External API endpoint configuration is resolved by consuming applications through the BOF API client registry rather than through settings defined inside this library.
- `clsPaymentApi` introduces a direct dependency on claim-view types, and `clsProviderLocation` introduces a direct dependency on external-user types.
- `ProviderTranslator` maps only two BOF relationship codes explicitly and falls back to `primarycontact` for other codes.
