## Usage guidance

- Treat this documentation and the official repositories as primary sources for current behavior.
- Dashboard and Agent have independent release versions; consult their release pages before upgrades.
- `/api/v1` is an API route namespace and does not mean the current product generation is V1.
- Community-project pages describe third-party integrations and may not track the current V2 generation.
