## Star trust

Unusual star pattern (heuristic).
- Very few forks: 1 for 432 stars. Active projects usually have 3–15 forks per 100 stars.

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

## Numbers

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.
