How to use these references

Start with the source that matches your question. A card-game reference can explain a hand category but cannot certify a file. A developer tool can describe a signature check but cannot determine whether a commercial activity is permitted.

Sources were checked on 27 October 2026. External documents may later change or move. The relevant guide includes its own references so that the connection between a statement and its basis stays visible.

When evidence is missing

An empty field is not permission to invent an answer. We omit unsupported app versions, package names, fingerprints, ratings and download figures. Where the lack of information matters to the reader’s question, we explain that limit directly.

Our editorial policy describes the difference between an attributed statement, a measured observation and a test result.
