 - **Creation Date** is especially valuable for legacy / classic Unix tools, early security utilities, and projects from the 1990s–early 2000s to give historical perspective.
 - **Stars** provides at-a-glance community adoption signal — useful for readers new to the field who want to prioritize widely trusted tools.
-- Star counts change over time → include an "as of" month/year when the value was last verified (can be updated during periodic repo maintenance sweeps).
 - When adding or updating entries, fetch Creation Date and Stars directly from the GitHub repo page or API if possible.
 - For extremely old projects without GitHub presence (e.g. original tcpdump releases, early versions of OpenSSH), prefer the initial public release year in Creation Date and leave Stars as `—`.
