## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 00:09–23:05: 30531 → 30575 stars (+44). This is the change over that interval.
- Over the last two days the pace is 2.4× that of the previous week and a half.
- Elevated gains were measured on the last 2 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
- GitHub Trending Go today: #16, +56 stars.
- About 8 forks a day — people are taking the code.

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.
