Update llms.txt, llms/README.md, and metrics.md
llms.txt (132 lines, down from 204): - Reorganized: entry points now described right after decision point - Added file types table with illustrative paths - Added key link relations tables - Added CVE query dictionaries documentation - Added breaking changes and manifest resources sections - Removed verbose JSON schema examples (graph is self-describing) - Standardized bracket notation for link relations - Added diff retrieval urgency warning llms/README.md (583 lines, up from 207): - Full schema examples for all file types - Breaking changes workflow and jq queries - CVE analysis workflows with diff retrieval guidance - Response templates including breaking changes follow-up - Cross-links to llms.txt with remote URLs metrics.md: - Updated file sizes to current values - Added breaking changes query comparisons - Fixed schema references (breaks[], url, compatibility-json) - Updated phase to support_phase in hal-graph queries 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Rules
57

68
1. Use JSON files, not Markdown
7-
2. Follow `_links.*.href` exactly — never construct URLs
8-
3. Proactively fetch `commits[hash].url` directly — these are pre-authorized GitHub `.diff` URLs
9-
4. Prefer authoritative and curated graph data over internet searches
10-
5. If a link or field is missing, do **not** infer or fabricate it
11-
6. Never guess version availability, release timing, or CVE presence — always consult the indexes
9+
2. Follow `_links["..."].href` exactly — never construct URLs

## Endpoints (start here)

15-
These are the **only** entry-point URLs you should call directly. All other URLs must be discovered via `_links.*.href`.
16-
17-
* **Releases Index (version-based entry):** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotnet/core/release-index/release-notes/index.json
18-
* **Timeline Index (time-based entry):** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotnet/core/release-index/release-notes/timeline/index.json
16+
These are the **only** entry-point URLs you should call directly. All other URLs must be discovered via `_links["..."].href`.

All deeper navigation must follow HAL links from these indexes.
18+
* **Releases Index (version-based entry):** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotnet/core/refs/heads/release-index/release-notes/index.json
19+
* **Timeline Index (time-based entry):** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dotnet/core/refs/heads/release-index/release-notes/timeline/index.json

## Structure
2322

24-
* Graph is a set of HAL+JSON (`index.json`) indexes
25-
* Releases Index exposes major + patch versions
26-
* Timeline Index exposes years, months, and ship days
27-
* Both indexes expose CVE information
28-
* Both indexes cross-link via `_links` to enable wormhole navigation
29-
* Properties use snake-case-lower
30-
* Link relations use kebab-case-lower
31-
* `latest-release` and `latest_release` always referenced supported not preview releases
32-
* Referenced `cve.json` files provide rich query dictionaries
33-
34-
## Canonical navigation
35-
36-
* For **version-based prompts**: start at the **Releases Index** endpoint above
37-
* For **time-based prompts**: start at the **Timeline Index** endpoint above
38-
* Always follow HAL links; **never** compose URLs
23+
* Graph is a set of HAL+JSON indexes (follow `_links` to navigate)
24+
* Releases Index → major versions → patch versions → CVE details
25+
* Timeline Index → years → months → CVE details
26+
* Properties use `snake_case`; link relations use `kebab-case`
27+
* `latest` and `latest_lts` reference supported (not preview) releases

## Do first
4130

42-
* Identify whether the user prompt is version-based or timeline-based
43-
* Select the appropriate index (Releases or Timeline)
44-
* Confirm the scope of the request so all necessary data can be fetched in a single pass
45-
46-
## CVE Workflow
47-
48-
From the Timeline Index:
49-
50-
1. Select the year → find month objects with `"security": true`
51-
2. Follow `_links.self.href` to the month index, which contains the disclosure summary
52-
3. Full CVE details come from `_links.cve-json.href`
53-
54-
From the Version Index:
55-
56-
1. Select the version → find patch objects with `"security": true`
57-
2. Follow `_links.self.href` to the patch version index, which contains the disclosure summary
58-
3. Full CVE details come from `_links.cve-json.href`
59-
60-
Processing `cve.json`:
61-
62-
1. `cve.json` exposes: `product_cves`, `package_cves`, `release_cves`, `severity_cves`, `cve_releases`, `cve_commits`
63-
2. **Fetch diffs immediately** from `commits[hash].url` (for: `cve_commits`, `products[].commits[]`, `packages[].commits[]`)
64-
65-
### Diff retrieval
66-
67-
Always fetch all provided diff URLs immediately.
68-
Do not defer; firewall or domain restrictions may block later access.

## File types
52+
53+
| File | Example path | Contains |
54+
|------|--------------|----------|
55+
| Releases index | `/index.json` | All major versions with support status, EOL dates |
56+
| Version index | `/10.0/index.json` | All patches for a version, embedded CVE summaries |
57+
| Patch index | `/10.0/10.0.1/index.json` | Single patch details, embedded CVE disclosures |
58+
| Manifest | `/10.0/manifest.json` | External links (downloads, docs, supported OS) |
59+
| Compatibility | `/10.0/compatibility.json` | Breaking changes with impact, actions, doc links |
60+
| Timeline index | `/timeline/index.json` | All years |
61+
| Year index | `/timeline/2025/index.json` | All months with CVE summaries |
62+
| Month index | `/timeline/2025/01/index.json` | Releases that month, embedded CVE disclosures |
63+
| CVE details | `/timeline/2025/01/cve.json` | Full CVE data: products, packages, commit diffs |
64+
65+
Paths are illustrative — always follow `_links["..."].href` to get actual URLs.
66+
67+
## Key link relations
68+
69+
From a **major version index** (e.g., `10.0/index.json`):
70+
71+
| Link relation | Purpose |
72+
|---------------|---------|
73+
| `latest-security` | Jump to latest security patch |
74+
| `compatibility-json` | Breaking changes with categories, impact, and migration guidance |
75+
| `release-manifest` | External resources (downloads, supported OS, what's new) |
76+
77+
From a **patch index** (e.g., `10.0/10.0.1/index.json`):
78+
79+
| Link relation | Purpose |
80+
|---------------|---------|
81+
| `cve-json` | Full CVE details (only for `security: true` patches) |
82+
| `release-month` | Jump to timeline month |
83+
84+
From a **month index** (e.g., `timeline/2025/01/index.json`):
85+
86+
| Link relation | Purpose |
87+
|---------------|---------|
88+
| `cve-json` | Full CVE details for that month |
89+
| `prev` | Navigate to previous month |
90+
91+
## CVE data
92+
93+
CVE information is embedded at multiple levels:
94+
95+
* **Patch index**: `cve_count`, `_embedded.disclosures[]` with severity, title, affected products
96+
* **Month index**: Same disclosure summaries grouped by time
97+
* **cve.json**: Full details (see below)
98+
99+
For security analysis, the embedded disclosures are usually sufficient. Fetch `cve.json` only when you need package-level vulnerability ranges or commit diffs.
100+
101+
Follow `_links["cve-json"]` from any security patch or month index to get:
102+
103+
* `disclosures[]` — full CVE records with `id`, `cvss`, `weakness`, `mitigation`
104+
* `products[]` — affected products with `fixed`, `min_vulnerable`, `max_vulnerable`, `commits[]`
105+
* `packages[]` — affected NuGet packages with version ranges
106+
* `commits{}` — commit details keyed by hash, each with `repo`, `branch`, `url` (`.diff` URL)
107+
108+
**Fetch diffs immediately** — firewall or domain restrictions may block later access.
109+
110+
Pre-computed query dictionaries (no iteration needed):
111+
112+
* `product_cves` — `{"dotnet-runtime": ["CVE-..."], ...}`
113+
* `package_cves` — `{"Package.Name": ["CVE-..."], ...}`
114+
* `release_cves` — `{"9.0": ["CVE-..."], ...}`
115+
* `severity_cves` — `{"CRITICAL": [...], "HIGH": [...], ...}`
116+
* `cve_releases` — `{"CVE-...": ["8.0", "9.0"], ...}`
117+
* `cve_commits` — `{"CVE-...": ["abc123", ...], ...}`
118+
119+
## Breaking changes
120+
121+
Follow `_links["compatibility-json"]` from any major version index to get:
122+
123+
* `breaks[]` — all breaking changes with `category`, `type`, `impact`, `required_action`
124+
* `references[]` — links to documentation (use `type: "documentation-source"` for raw markdown)
125+
* Pre-computed rollups: `categories`, `impact_breakdown`, `type_breakdown`
126+
127+
## Manifest resources
128+
129+
Follow `_links["release-manifest"]` for curated external links:
130+
131+
* `whats-new-rendered` — What's new documentation
132+
* `downloads-rendered` — Download page
133+
* `supported-os-json` — Supported OS matrix
134+
* `compatibility-rendered` — Breaking changes documentation
