- Coordinates are validated upfront —
groupId and artifactId must be [A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-]* (max 200 chars each). Bad input raises ArgumentError.
lastPublished / publishedAt are derived from Solr's epoch-ms timestamp and rendered as second-precision YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ.- Maven Central throttles bursts;
HTTP 429 surfaces as a typed CommandExecutionError with a retry hint.
versions (in search) is the count Solr reports — it includes pre-releases as well as stable versions.
- No browser required — uses
search.maven.org/solrsearch/select (Solr endpoint).
