Description

Summary

Implement the collection-valued fields missing from the jekyll-github-metadata emulation.

Scope

  • contributors
  • public_repositories
  • releases
  • versions
  • pagination behavior for repositories with more than one API page
  • authenticated/rate-limit error behavior that preserves the existing non-fatal plugin contract
  • caching consistent with the repository metadata cache
  • fixture or local HTTP-server tests; tests must not depend on live GitHub responses

Document any deliberate compatibility limits if current Ruby plugin values cannot be reproduced from the public API.

Split from #28.

Research direction

Start by locating the jekyll-github-metadata emulation and the existing repository metadata cache. Use fixtures or a local HTTP server to test collection fields, pagination, authentication and rate-limit failures without live GitHub responses. Done means all listed fields, caching and non-fatal error behavior are covered, with compatibility limits documented.
