Stars

Organic, confidence high

Bursts

• The star history was reset at some point, so earlier stars aren't counted.
• 2 stars GitHub has since removed (tracked since Oct 14, 2026).

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

• The star history looks organic.
• The star history has a zero run of 26 weeks or more, so the analysis starts after it.
