  https://docs.github.com/en/rest/using-the-rest-api/libraries-for-the-rest-api
  and the public package registries. The GitHub Copilot REST API is a slice of
  the GitHub REST API served from api.github.com, so the first-party client
  libraries are the official Octokit family plus the community-maintained
  language SDKs GitHub documents. Registry HTTP status recorded at fetch time.
