This file exists so AI assistants and agents can quickly find and correctly cite the structured data behind this site — the JSON files below are the canonical, machine-readable source; the human page (https://whelix.info/) renders the same data client-side and additionally embeds it as schema.org JSON-LD in its `<head>` (both are regenerated from the same data on every request, so neither can go stale).
