Heads up: statuses are automated heuristics from commit dates, registry metadata and issue titles. "Stale" can mean "finished and stable"; "Error spike" means error-titled issues are unusually high for that pack lately — worth checking recent issues, not a verdict that it is broken. Always check the repo.
