Usage of application_id and magic.txt
Login
Greetings starfighters!
My organization uses SQLite a lot and only today we learned about the magic values at header-offset 68.  And then I looked at the magic file here -- https://www.sqlite.org/src/artifact?ci=trunk&filename=magic.txt

The documentation recommends that we register in that file; and I know like thousands of folks who also use it as an "application file format" (like we intend to do as well) -- but that magic file has...less entries than I expected and has not been updated since 2014.  Not good or bad, just a surprise for me.

This is still recommended path forward?  If we're intending to do things the "Right Way" (TM) then we should request/register some value in there?  (Like how Fossil has stuff with "0x0f055112" (neat trick ;) ) )
