  • The score is its most recent published measurement, taken on 1 October 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 2b6ce4d69ed83584da1916d80c83dd6cf7f940e7 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric-2026.09.18 — the same rubric and the same method as every other entry in this index.
  • Measured by watchdog.canine.dev using codehealth-analyzer preprod-e569280dd5e2.
