Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 2, 2026, 21:46 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 00:15–21:41: 32600 → 32603 stars (+3). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +3 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Hacker News: “Five months treating bugs like patients and coding agents like a medical team” — 218 points, 24 days ago.
- About 10 forks a day — people are taking the code.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 24. +33% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
