- Make the iterator range illustrations legible in dark mode (prefers-color-scheme
rules inside the SVGs).
- Add a "Byte layout" section with a color-coded byte table to each binary format
page (BJData, BON8, BSON, CBOR, MessagePack, UBJSON), and highlight the smallest
size per file in the comparison table.
- Add "See also" sections to the overview pages that lacked one.
- Split the release notes into one page per release, grouped by minor version on
the overview page, with an "API changes" section per release generated from the
API pages' version histories (hooks/api_changes.py).
- Fact-check the release notes and version histories against the release tags and
correct wrong or misleading entries (e.g., json_serializer 2.1.0, merge_patch
3.1.0, items, count, operator[], to_bjdata, std::string_view key support).

* Drop the class wrapper from the C++20 comparison operator signatures in the docs
The signature boxes of operator<=> and the C++20 half of operator== wrapped
the member declarations in an incomplete "class basic_json { ... };". The
trailing const already marks them as members, and no other page uses such a
wrapper.

* Review and extend the documentation, and check it in CI
A review of all documentation pages found factual errors, dead links,
missing cross-references, and gaps in examples. This fixes them and adds
checks so the same problems are caught automatically.
Fixes:
- wrong signatures and version histories (operator!= C++20 member,
binary() subtype type, get<PointerType>(), JSON_NO_THREAD_LOCAL, ...)
- stale descriptions (number parsing since #5283, UBJSON table, SAX
example that no longer compiled, tsl::ordered_map advice)
- dead internal and external links; repology.org badges (the domain is
suspended) replaced by badges that query the registries directly
- deprecation notes link the migration guide; the guide itself fixed
Additions:
- "See also" sections, cross-references, 25 runnable examples, 12
Mermaid diagrams, new API pages for json_pointer::operator<=> and
byte_container_with_subtype::operator==/!=
- landing page, guides for untrusted input and performance
- "unreleased" badge after versions newer than the latest release
Checks:
- strict documentation build (broken links/anchors fail it); CI and
the publish workflow fetch the full history the build needs
- weekly external link check, Mermaid syntax check in CI
- check_structure.py: example titles, heading levels, alt texts,
header links, docset index coverage; its unused-example check works
again
- all examples produce the same output on every platform

* Keep the customer links that could not be fixed
A dead link on the customers page is still the evidence of where the
use of the library was documented. Keep the original URLs of the entries
without a working replacement (Marne, Cisco Webex Desk Camera, Philips
Hue, CyberArk) and exclude exactly these URLs from the link check.

* Correct the duplicate-key recipe's claim about SAX positions
The SAX interface's key() receives no position either; only parse_error()
does. Also note that the recipe does not report the path to the repeated
key (see discussion #5085).

* Correct documentation errors found while hunting for bugs
- patch/patch_inplace: list the JSON pointer errors parse_error.106-109
and out_of_range.402/404, and quote the actual parse_error.105 message.
- unflatten: list parse_error.106/107/108 and out_of_range.404.
- to_bson: list out_of_range.415 (binary subtype above 255) and note
that 412 and 415 are new in 3.13.0.
- to_string: state that string_t must be convertible to std::string, also
in the StringType requirements table.
- JSON Lines: a `while (input >> j)` loop also throws after the last value
for concatenated JSON values; show a loop that works for both.
- BON8: a string gets 0xFF only if nothing follows it in the message; a
string at the end of an array or object is ended by 0xFE.
- custom_string_type.hpp: add operator+=(char), which the "Always
required" list asks for (json_pointer::to_string, flatten, unflatten,
and diff did not compile), and an ADL int_to_string for diff and items.

* Cache the release headers with functools.lru_cache
Codacy (Pylint) flagged the mutable default argument that header() used
as its cache. functools.lru_cache keeps the same memoization without it.
The script's output is unchanged.

* 📝 Fix documentation gaps for 3.13.0 release (todos 138-142)
- Todo 138: Add "Known issues" section to modules.md with compiler-specific troubleshooting (GCC redefinition, MSVC symbol export). Add pointer note to quality_assurance.md.
- Todo 139: Document CBOR/MessagePack half-precision float encoding for NaN/Infinity (0xF9/0xCA with exact byte sequences). Explain pre-3.13.0 double-precision bug mechanism without issue citations.
- Todo 140: Document CBOR negative-integer-overflow rejection (parse_error.112) for magnitudes exceeding int64_t range (already implemented in rev 1).
- Todo 141: Update version history in value.md and operator[].md with behavior-change details, removing issue citations per citation policy (prose is self-contained).
- Todo 142: Global sed replace of 3.12.x → 3.13.0 placeholder across all 20 documentation files.
Revision 2 incorporates feedback to reduce changelog-like issue citations. Only citations that add unique troubleshooting value are retained (#5103 for GCC workaround, #3970 for MSVC symbol export). "Known issues" section follows PR #5252's visual pattern (info admonition with bold-bullet format).

* 📝 Document integer type selection, type_name() invalid value, and std::optional get() fix
- number_handling.md: clarify that positive/negative integers select
unsigned/signed storage based on the leading minus sign (todo 143).
- type_name.md: document the new "invalid" return value for corrupted
JSON values (todo 145).
- get.md: note that get<std::optional<T>>() was unreachable in every
configuration prior to 3.13.0 due to an internal macro-guard bug,
unrelated to JSON_USE_IMPLICIT_CONVERSIONS's actual effect (todo 144).
