## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-11 (UTC), 00:38–02:02: 125 → 126 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +25 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 2 days old and already has 126 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #187.
- About 15 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

- Issues and pull requests: 49
- Watchers: 2
- Average over the last week: 50 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
