  Public-API snapshots and release-to-release changes for the 1,872 most-downloaded Python libraries
  (55,565 releases, 2021-2026), with signature-level detail, deduplication, confidence labels, a coverage layer and
  AI-agent runtime audits; plus apidrift-check (an offline version-aware checker), apidrift-lookup and an MCP server,
  and the VersionProbe benchmark.
