GitHub Achievement Encyclopedia v1.1.0
Validation date: 19 July 2026
Release type: Feature and public-data release
Release target: main
This release turns the verified encyclopedia into an operationally observable, searchable, and machine-consumable reference while preserving the evidence classifications established in v1.0.0.
Added
- A generated repository health dashboard with workflow, freshness, source, release, and backlog state.
- A validated nine-record achievement dataset and JSON Schema draft 2020-12 contract.
- An accessible search and filtering interface covering achievements and core project references.
- A single-command repository audit with consolidated Markdown and JSON evidence.
- A static public data API containing discovery, aggregate, individual achievement, schema, and health endpoints.
- Browser tests for aliases, combined filters, project-base routing, and accessible result announcements.
Changed
- Search now uses exact token and alias matching, preventing short terms such as
PRfrom matching unrelated words. - Generated search links preserve the
/AchievementsGitHub Pages base path. - Repository navigation exposes search, health, audit, dataset, schema, and API surfaces.
- Formal release verification now runs the unified repository audit and public API drift validation.
- Markdown and link audits explicitly exclude installed third-party dependencies and generated evidence directories.
Verification
The release candidate must pass all of the following controls before merge:
| Control | Release criterion |
|---|---|
| Unified repository audit | All 12 controls pass in one command |
| Public API | Generated index, aggregate, schema, and nine individual endpoints match the canonical dataset |
| Health endpoint | api/status.json exists and identifies the correct repository |
| Achievement data | Nine unique records match index, guides, permalinks, and verification dates |
| Search behaviour | Alias, status, tier, reference, routing, and accessibility assertions pass in Chromium |
| Markdown and links | Repository-owned files pass complete validation |
| Source resilience | Inventory generation passes |
| GitHub Pages | Production Jekyll build succeeds |
| Visual regression | Ten desktop and mobile baselines match |
| Release metadata | Version, date, scope, included work, and limitations are recorded |
API endpoint set
/Achievements/api/index.json/Achievements/api/achievements.json/Achievements/api/achievements/{slug}.json/Achievements/api/schema.json/Achievements/api/status.json
Included work
- PR #216 — repository health dashboard.
- PR #217 — machine-readable achievement dataset.
- PR #218 — advanced search and filtering.
- PR #219 — unified repository self-audit.
- PR #220 — public API, release integration, and
v1.1.0publication.
Known limitations
- The API is a static GitHub Pages publication. It does not provide server-side queries, authentication, mutation, pagination, or guaranteed response-time service levels.
status.jsonreflects the latest completed health-dashboard refresh and can briefly lag behind repository activity.- Search requires client-side JavaScript; the achievement index remains the non-JavaScript fallback.
- GitHub does not publish complete official trigger and tier specifications for every achievement. API delivery does not strengthen community-reported evidence.
- Consumers must retain evidence classifications, verification dates, and known limitations when presenting achievement data.
- Automated source availability can be affected by rate limiting, access controls, bot protection, or transient outages.
- Visual regression covers representative pages and does not replace manual accessibility or editorial review.
Maintenance baseline
Future compatible endpoint additions follow minor-version releases. Breaking API envelopes or achievement data fields require major version changes to the applicable version field. Evidence changes continue to follow the maintenance policy, release policy, and verification methodology.
