Research notes
- Pre-wave artifact: created November 2025, months before the summer-2026 cleaner flood - one of the earliest entries in the catalog.
- License is 'Free for Personal Use' (NOASSERTION), not open source despite the public repo.
- Zero stars, zero forks, no reddit presence - the quiet tail of the distribution: most of these tools ship to silence.
- Steady solo maintenance: 5 releases across 10 months (v1.0.0->v2.3.1).
