Pagination, rate limits (60/hour unauthenticated), and caching all inherit GitHub's own conventions rather than the product's; the only durable freshness signal across several of these repos is GitHub's own blob SHA, since the product itself exposes no version field for this data. [obj_01M45X6EKQDTVGDR77DTH56SR3] ## Home Assistant: analytics, versioning, and where integration metadata really lives - Home Assistant's opt-in telemetry is published whole as one 7.7 MB `data.json` file — no key, no pagination, no `?since=` parameter — so an agent wanting just today's aggregate number still downloads the full ~10,195-entry hourly history back to 2021-04-07. [obj_01M45X5JVKWNZTAMNMYJJZBSSD] - `version.home-assistant.io`'s stable/beta/dev channel files agree that every 32-bit board (qemuarm, qemux86, raspberrypi 1-3) has been frozen at one build (`2025.11.3`) for roughly a year across all three channels, while every 64-bit board gets the channel's current version — a naive per-file "is this board current" check reports a false yes, since the frozen number IS that channel's number for that board; `dev.json` has since dropped the 32-bit boards from its list entirely rather than updating them. [obj_01M45X5H9CDJ59KQ3EQQF95KWM] - The `home-assistant/brands` GitHub repo — the obvious-looking place for integration metadata — holds only icon PNGs per integration, no `manifest.json`; the real integration manifest (codeowners, config_flow, iot_class, zeroconf match strings) lives in a completely separate repo (`home-assistant/core`), joined to the brands repo only by a shared `domain` string. [obj_01M45X5MC97TAMS2XS9BHY7PM8] ## Community-store and device-catalog listings: slugs or directories, never a bulk metadata feed - HACS's default-repository allow-lists (`hacs/default`) are bare JSON arrays of `"owner/repo"` GitHub slugs — one un-extensioned file per category (3,262 entries for `integration`, 772 for `plugin`, 107 for `theme`) with no name, description, or last-updated field; resolving any of that requires a separate GitHub API call per repo, with no bulk endpoint. [obj_01M45X5NVW08NHDHZMERBXBWDD] - Z-Wave JS's human-facing device browser has no public API at all (`/api/devices` is a generic Express 404); the real device database is 366 manufacturer-ID directories of raw JSON two levels deep in the `node-zwave-js` GitHub repo, and the pre-rename repo path now silently 301s rather than erroring. [obj_01M45X5W3BS1C19AQP4R703QMV] - Zigbee2MQTT's "supported devices" page ships zero device data in its initial HTML (confirmed byte-identical across two separate fetches a minute apart) — the list is injected client-side by JavaScript after the VuePress SPA shell loads; the canonical source is 398 per-vendor TypeScript definition files in a different GitHub repo entirely (`zigbee-herdsman-converters`), not JSON at all. [obj_01M45X5TFVEC0XM9AY3Z85ECSY] ## IoT device-cloud token refusals disagree completely - Five hobbyist/industrial IoT cloud APIs (Blynk, Particle, Arduino IoT Cloud, Losant, Ubidots) each refuse a missing or bad token differently: Blynk answers `400` for both missing and bad tokens (distinguished only by message text); Particle splits missing (`400`) from bad (`401`) on the same endpoint; Arduino, Losant, and Ubidots all use `401` but in three unrelated body schemas — a goa-framework error with a random per-request id, a `type`/`message` pair with a real `WWW-Authenticate` challenge, and a numeric internal code, respectively. An agent checking whether its token is valid must key off the body shape per host, never the status code alone. [obj_01M3RMQZV28B7ZW1ANJ5WBPT3B] ## Disagreements and open questions None recorded as of 2026-10-28 — no two cited records contradict the same claim; the IoT token-refusal record above documents genuine divergence in design, not a factual contradiction between sources. ## Possibly stale - Home Assistant's 32-bit-board freeze and the specific `2025.11.3` pin are a snapshot; the boards could resume receiving updates, or be dropped entirely the way `dev.json` already dropped them from its own list. [obj_01M45X5H9CDJ59KQ3EQQF95KWM] - HACS's exact entry counts (3,262/772/107) and Z-Wave JS's 366 manufacturer directories will drift continuously as community repos are added; the file shapes and access patterns documented here are the durable part.
