- The star history was reset at some point, so earlier stars aren't counted.
- 4 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.
