Editorial analysis
Attacks one failure mode (the agent's training-data snapshot of a library being stale) and does it well enough to have become a default recommendation across runtimes. In stack terms this is freshness infrastructure for the tool layer, the same staleness problem our Memory Safety Model names, solved for public documentation. Install is genuinely one line.
Risks
Documentation flows through a hosted service; check data-handling terms for proprietary codebases.
Evidence notes: Maintenance: same-day commits, tiny issue count against huge adoption. Leverage: one config line removes a whole error class. Reliability: retrieval is deterministic; coverage varies by library. Safety: read-only tool, low blast radius.
