📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request introduces updated tooling for collecting and enriching Boost 1.90.0 library metadata. It removes an older library collection script and replaces it with a new script that fetches library information, Git roots, and file extensions from GitHub. Additionally, it adds extension summary utilities, updated library metadata files with root paths and extensions, and environment configuration support. Changes

.env must not be committed to version control.
Even as a placeholder, tracking .env in git is dangerous: a developer may replace the placeholder with a real token and commit it, exposing it in history permanently. The standard convention is to commit a .env.example (or .env.template) containing only the key names with placeholder values, and add .env to .gitignore.
🔒 Recommended remediation
- Add
.envto.gitignore:
+BoostLibraryList/.env- Rename (or add)
.env.examplefor documentation:
+GITHUB_TOKEN="<your_github_token_here>"- Remove
.envfrom tracking:
git rm --cached BoostLibraryList/.env
Also note the [ValueWithoutQuotes] lint warning from dotenv-linter: the value contains spaces and special characters (<, >, ...) and should be wrapped in double quotes per the dotenv spec.

truncated flag from GitHub Git Trees API is not checked — silent data loss possible.
When a repository tree exceeds 100,000 entries the GitHub API sets "truncated": true and omits the rest. The code doesn't check this field, so extensions in the tail of a large tree are silently dropped without any warning.
