Snapshot and freshness

Snapshot: projects-2026-07-15-bootstrap · fetched: 2026-07-15 15:20 +08:00 · stale after: 2026-07-29 · records: 11.

Bootstrap snapshot. No GitHub token was available in the build environment, so the first snapshot used GitHub's public unauthenticated API and is labelled accordingly. Normal maintenance refreshes require GITHUB_TOKEN; this page does not claim the bootstrap was authenticated.

Activity method

phase7-v1 gives 20 points when not archived; 40/30/15 for a commit within 30/90/365 days; 25/15 for a release within 180/365 days; and 15/10/5 for at least 100/25/5 pagination-counted contributors. Scores are reproducible freshness signals, not security or quality ratings.

Refresh and failure behavior

Maintainers run pnpm refresh:projects with a read-only GITHUB_TOKEN. The script sends GitHub's version header, fetches all records, calculates scores, writes a temporary complete snapshot, and atomically replaces the old file only after every request succeeds. The build itself uses no network.

Are GitHub stars a recommendation score?
Are GitHub stars a recommendation score?
No. Stars are a dated repository signal. Security, maintenance, supported installation, fit, and rollback remain separate editorial fields.
What happens when GitHub cannot be reached?
What happens when GitHub cannot be reached?
The explicit refresh command fails before replacement, the last complete snapshot remains, and readers use its fetched/stale dates rather than seeing partial zeros.
