Note: No stripping applicable - this is a hand-authored schema where all fields are used.

Recommended Action

For webhooks.json and objects.json: Strip + Minify

• Modify languageservice/script/webhooks/index.ts to:

  1. Strip unused fields (summary, availability, category, action) before writing
  2. Use JSON.stringify(obj) instead of JSON.stringify(obj, null, 2) to minify

• Gzip is handled automatically by github-ui's production server

For workflow-v1.0.json: Minify at build time

• Add a build step to minify the JSON before publishing

Expected savings:

• npm package size: 4.78 MB → 1.77 MB (63% reduction)
• Network transfer (gzip): 224 KB → 91 KB (59% reduction)
