Library metadata

- Library
  - `object` 'library', required
  - `id` string, uuid, required — Stable library identifier.
  - `identifier` string, required — Canonical user-facing identifier (e.g. `vercel/next.js`). Use this for `libraries.get`, `libraries.versions`, and as a `libraries` array entry on `search`.

  - `source` Source, required
    - `type` string, required — Where the library's documentation comes from. Known values today: `github`, `website`. New values may appear without notice; treat as a documented open enum, not a sealed set.
    - `url` string, uri, required
  - `url` string, uri, required — Same value as `source.url`. Kept top-level for ergonomic single-URL access.
