Experienced point 6 with the GitHub API. “Repository” is a core Git(Hub) primitive, and across the entire API surface (they have an OpenAPI spec, 40 MB in size total), last I counted it was 48 different versions of repository. For example, what’s considered a repo owned by a user might be different from that of an organisation. There is no sane recourse but automatic code generation, which is a ton of effort in itself (tooling isn’t great).
