Healthy

Actively maintained by 7 people, no known risks.

## Why

No warning signs: none of the [verdict rules](https://reporadar.ai/methodology) applied to this repo.

### What would change this

- Partly checked: maintenance (Commit counts are estimated: the commit sample stops before the window start, so GitHub's totals were scaled by the sampled bot share.; Authors in the last 90 days are counted from the sampled commits only.)
- A dormant maintenance status, a deprecated or archived package, a successor link, or a critical advisory would change this.

## Stars

Complete

Organic, confidence medium

Bars show stars gained each week. Red bars overlap a burst.

### Bursts

- **Jan 11, 2026 to Jan 15, 2026**: about 190 more stars than usual, peak 70 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks, a jump in issues and pull requests.
- **Oct 23, 2026 to Oct 24, 2026**: about 808 more stars than usual, peak 430 in one day, a shape we can't classify. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.

Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.

- The star history looks organic.
- Star history from the full report of Oct 25, 2026; this update did not re-read it.
