Audience: Developers integrating with the GitHub Issues REST API (portfolio subset)

Scope: Short definitions for recurring terms used across the guides and evidence artifacts.

• Artifact: A saved request/response record captured during testing and stored in evidence/raw/ (ET timestamps in filenames).
• Evidence matrix: A high-level index of tests and the evidence that supports each behavior claim (evidence/EVIDENCE_MATRIX.md).
• Traceability map: A map that connects tests, endpoints, and evidence artifacts (evidence/TRACEABILITY_MAP.md).
• Pagination: Fetching results across multiple pages using per_page and page query parameters.
• per_page: Number of results returned per page. Verified max is 100 in this portfolio scope.
• page: Which page of results to return (used with per_page).
• Validation error (422): The server accepted the request format but rejected the payload content (example: missing required title).
• Rate limit: GitHub limits request volume. This repo documents the relevant headers, but rate limiting is not exhaustively tested.
