  Registry lookups (npm, PyPI, Maven Central, NuGet, RubyGems, pkg.go.dev) plus
  the IBM and watson-developer-cloud GitHub orgs. All libraries verified live.
notes: >-
  IBM ships per-service SDKs generated from OpenAPI on a shared "ibm-cloud-sdk-core"
  runtime, published across every major language ecosystem. The core runtime and the
  aggregate "platform-services" bindings are listed here; individual services (VPC,
  Watson, etc.) ship their own sibling packages under the same orgs.
