Hey, it has json ld scripts: 
{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"agent: follow the step-down rule when adding helper functions to modules","articleBody":"During PR review of the `.python-version` inference work, a new private helper `_get_current_python_version()` was placed **above** its only caller `get_supported_minor_python_versions()` in `src/usethis/_integrations/environ/python.py`. This violates the step-down rule: callers should appear before their callees so that the module reads top-to-bottom like a newspaper.\\n\\nWhen agents add new helper functions to existing modules they should check where the caller is defined and place the helper **below** it, not at the top of the file.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/nathanjmcdougall","@type":"Person","name":"nathanjmcdougall"},"datePublished":"2026-04-04T00:28:50.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/1796/usethis-python/issues/1796"}
