## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-19 (UTC), 12:13–17:39: 110 → 162 stars (+52). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +69 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 162 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #141.
- About 16 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

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

- Issues and pull requests: 4
- Watchers: 1
- Average over the last week: 62 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.
