Healthy

Healthy: maintained by 3 people in the last 90 days, no known risks.

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.; Most commits in the last year come from bots.; Only 4 recent issues can be checked for a response, too few to measure response time.)
A dormant maintenance status, a deprecated or archived package, a successor link, or a critical advisory would change this.

9 stars GitHub has since removed (tracked since Oct 13, 2026).

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

Some star bursts have no matching forks, issues, releases, or launch coverage.
Anyone can buy stars for any repo, so this describes the star history only.
