Why
No rule fired.
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.)
- A dormant maintenance status, a deprecated or archived package, a successor link, or a critical advisory would change this.

Stars
CompleteOrganic, confidence high
Bursts
- May 6, 2017 to Jun 4, 2017: about 2.4k more stars than usual, peak 519 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in forks.

- Sep 26, 2026 to Sep 29, 2026: about 90 more stars than usual, peak 56 in one day, a spike that tapers off. Outside explanation: a jump in issues and pull requests.
- The star history was reset at some point, so earlier stars aren't counted.
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.
