Rebased onto current main and re-synced from
ImagingDataCommons/imaging-data-commons-skill, which now holds SKILL.md under 500
lines upstream. references/core_capabilities.md is therefore removed rather than
refreshed: its content was redistributed into the topical guides that already own
each subject (sql_patterns, index_tables_guide, cli_guide, licensing_and_citation)
instead of a catch-all file, and upstream CI holds the budget so the split does not
have to be redone after each sync.
New since v1.4.0: the hosted IDC MCP server and REST API as first-class access paths
(references/mcp_guide.md, references/rest_api_guide.md), so a metadata question no
longer requires a ~77 MB idc-index install; licensing_and_citation.md; idc-index
0.12.5 / IDC data v24; scripts/check_version.py as the startup version check.
tests/imaging-data-commons/test_check_version.py covers the bundled script: offline,
standard library only, no idc-index needed. It is a copy of the upstream file, which
is written to be vendored — only two path constants and the frontmatter-version
assertion differ.
Verified: pytest tests/_meta tests/imaging-data-commons -> 29 passed, 1030 subtests;
skills-ref validate skills/imaging-data-commons -> valid; SKILL.md 495 lines.
