  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 20 July 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 7a89c31f91 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.17. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
