@ben Can you also review this PR?

You should check this against https://github.com/bigcommerce/shipping-service/blob/865c454d588a0e38740d800e07c6cbd6bb8fd6fe/src/Services/TrackingLink/ExternalCarriers.php#L4 That is our current list of providers that are supported from within the code base.
This is what we use under the hood to figure out whether we reach out to aftership.

If there are missing names in that file it is worth raising a ticket for us to update.

I don't have access to that link. I get a 404.

One thing just observed is that directfreight-au-ref, for example, is not actually a tracking carrier string we support - suggesting perhaps there's a more modern variant we need here?

Current master has directfreight-au instead: https://github.com/bigcommerce/shipping-service/blob/28bf1e6b56de6d7e07d80571ae841df79077f82b/src/Services/TrackingLink/ExternalCarriers.php#L761C10-L761C18

Outside of that, I do regard continuing to update these docs manually as a bandaid solution. Would there be an option for something that is generated by engineering, directly referencing our actual source of truth that is active in production?

Perhaps it is indeed the lesser of two evils to directly reference the Aftership list? My leaning is actually towards that, at this time, given repeated support concerns in this area.

Closing ticket, instead we will point to the Aftership carrier list. See PR 603
