Primary implementations, protocol proposals, and provider documentation used to ground the site’s explanations. A reference link is not a partnership or endorsement.
Software branches and provider documentation can change. Read the relevant implementation or service documentation for current operational details, and keep the date and version in mind when comparing a guide with code. These links were consulted for the September 20, 2026 build.
