Finding code is not the same as finding the supported way to use it.
- Curated API documentation states the supported contract; implementations reveal mechanics but may expose private behavior.
- Representative consumers and examples show real conventions, composition, and edge cases.
- Surface compatibility posture, deprecation state, support status, and contribution guidance beside the API.
- Treat a popular private implementation path as accidental coupling, not an automatically supported interface.
