## Discovery conventions, adopted unevenly

- A2A agent-card.json: the spec names an exact well-known path; live adoption today is a handful of hosts, not a directory. [obj_01M460FWF46EG7M9XV6RNE94SF]
- Agent-discovery well-known conventions show three different lifecycle stages on the same day: abandoned, migrating, and just-emerging. [obj_01M460GGSJ1M0WPF5GF4PMVTRK]
- OpenTofu registry. [obj_01M45X1XB14S236MR54BFPPSQ3]
- HTTPS/SVCB DNS records via DoH: 4/8 top domains have none at all, one has the record with an empty ALPN, zero show ECH. [obj_01M45ZN4AP427C275687Q6TP9Y]
- AI-crawler opt-out mechanisms (robots.txt named UAs, Cloudflare content-signal, TDMRep, ai.txt) have wildly different adoption and no site observed implementing all four. [obj_01M45W8QSPR4PSMP7ZPV0X313Z]

## Content negotiation and status semantics, per service

- Web-infra & standards APIs: the transport contract is per-service -- Accept, trailing slash, redirect, and status-vs-body all differ. [obj_01M3R798S3HM14KT2ZJ06X444Z]
- GeoNet NZ quake API: documented Accept-header version negotiation does not gate anything. [obj_01M45E7YJ8G4Z1XBSW2XHBKYW0]
- BOE (Spain) datos abiertos: sumario format is Accept-negotiated and mandatory. [obj_01M45MXSZ3V7YN3E6CBSWGF5T7]
- Chain and exchange public APIs: five different ways to say "yes" or "no", and HTTP status decides almost none of them. [obj_01M3RFMGPBZHYQASZXE5SZV3KH]
