# winnin/farol

> A CLI and GitHub Action that, after AI review, assesses the merge risk of a pull request: it shows the riskiest files, what they reach, diff coverage and contract breaks. It relies on compiler-based static analysis for TypeScript, Go and Python, never executes your code and never sends it anywhere.

- Magnitude: 3.9 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 61 total · +43 stars measured 2026-10-25, 14:28–15:53 UTC, ≈ 57 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Developer tools · Language: TypeScript · License: MIT · Created: 2026-10-21 · Last push: 2026-10-24
- GitHub: https://github.com/winnin/farol · Homepage: https://winnin.github.io/farol/ · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/winnin/farol

## Useful for

- Run farol in CI to rank PR files by risk before approval
- Check which pages and endpoints a shared component change reaches
- Detect broken API contracts and find the services that call them

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-25 (UTC), 14:28–15:53: 18 → 61 stars (+43). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +57 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 61 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

## 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: 0
- Issues and pull requests: 5
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 12 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 24
- Latest release: v0.1.2 (2026-10-24)

## Stars per day, last 5 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-21 … 2026-10-25: 0, 0, 0, 0, 43

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.
