## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 3
- Issues and pull requests: 11
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 37 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 21

## Stars per day, last 4 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

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.
