Prefer packages with concrete shipped artifacts: new package, major/minor version, security fix, SDK/API capability, model/runtime integration, benchmarked performance change, or developer workflow impact. 5. De-duplicate aliases across registry pages, GitHub repositories, model cards, and maintainer posts. 6. Mark uncertainty when publish time, package identity, maintainership, license, or artifact availability is unclear. ## Source Priority Use primary sources before secondary mentions: - npm package pages and npm registry metadata - PyPI project pages and release history - GitHub Releases, tags, changelogs, and repository package metadata - Hugging Face model, dataset, Space, and library release pages when they behave like package artifacts - crates.io, Go package/module pages, Maven Central, NuGet, Docker Hub, or similar registries when relevant - Maintainer blogs or docs only when they link ...
