Vinta ChenandClaude b06104c97e feat: add azure-sdk-for-python to Cloud Providers
DevOps audit adjudicated by maintainer 2026-08-16: obvious choice. Umbrella repo published as per-service packages, so no single download figure exists; azure-identity alone is 230.4M downloads/month. Repo-name entry used per the naming rule since there is no single pip name.

Vinta ChenandClaude a610fcec61 audit: sweep DevOps Tools to the shortlist cap
removed openstack (mirror-index repo aggregating OpenStack projects — nothing installable, not configuration management; its daily pushes are mirror automation)
removed kubesdk (2,135 downloads/month, 105 stars, repo created 2025-10, entered via PR #3166 — nowhere near obvious choice or challenger; maintainer also declined adding the official docker and kubernetes clients, so no Containers use case)
renamed cloudinit to cloud-init (repo name; not on PyPI), saltstack to salt (PyPI name; Broadcom-sponsored, kept as Second Tier challenger — PyPI 102K/month undercounts onedir and distro installs), sentry-python to sentry-sdk (PyPI name; 178.5M/month), borg to borgbackup (PyPI name; the bare borg package on PyPI is unrelated)
reordered every subcategory by tier and downloads: Cloud Providers boto3 3.4B then awscli 264.3M; Configuration Management ansible 13.0M and no-signal cloud-init obvious choices, pyinfra 271K and salt challengers; Deployment fabric 12.7M then chalice 930K; Monitoring and Processes psutil 391.5M, sentry-sdk, supervisor 16.8M, challenger sh 12.0M; Other pre-commit 198.0M, borgbackup 76K, chaostoolkit 18K

Vinta ChenandClaude fb7383cd9b docs: point Build Tools readers to Package Management
uv-build was deliberately not admitted to Build Tools since PEP 517 backends are a different job; that structure decision is deferred to the Python Toolchain sitting. Add a cross-reference so readers looking for Python packaging/build tooling (uv build backend, hatch) land on Package Management instead.

Vinta ChenandClaude 166c9c97df style: reorder Algorithms and Design Patterns and Documentation by downloads
Developer Tools audit adjudicated by maintainer 2026-08-16, format-only outcome for the two sections with no removals.

Algorithms: sortedcontainers (278.7M/month) first, then educational no-signal repos algorithms and thealgorithms alphabetically.
Design Patterns: transitions (2.9M/month) before no-signal python-patterns.
Documentation: sphinx (85.9M), mkdocs (17.8M), diagrams (6.8M) as obvious choices, pdoc (2.1M) as challenger.

Adjudicated by maintainer 2026-08-16: mkdocs-material pulls 17.6M downloads/month via ClickPy, nearly equal to mkdocs itself, and is the theme most mkdocs sites run. Listed as a sub-item since its job is inseparable from its parent.

Vinta ChenandClaude 8125688493 audit: sweep Build Tools to the shortlist cap
Removed bitbake (no PyPI distribution, ships with Yocto — its users are embedded-Linux developers, fails the Serves Python Developers scope test). Removed platformio (1,255,169 downloads/month — embedded and IoT toolchain written in Python but used for C and C++ firmware work, same scope test as bitbake). Removed pybuilder (51,511 downloads/month — searches confirm niche adoption, small community, fails the obvious-choice bar). Reordered remaining entries: invoke (85.4M) and scons (924K) as obvious choices, doit (803K) as challenger.

Developer Tools audit adjudicated by maintainer 2026-08-16:
- removed manhole (1,060,111 downloads/month but last push 2024-07, past the 12-month activity line; also mis-homed under Tracing, it is an inspection socket not a tracer)
- removed memory_graph (13,393 downloads/month, added 2025-12 by the project's own author with no displacement argued, teaching aid, fails the obvious-choice bar)
- renamed python-hunter to hunter (PyPI package name is hunter; the python-hunter name on PyPI is a squatter)

Vinta ChenandClaude 3e90482f01 audit: sweep Code Analysis to the shortlist cap
Removed code2flow (36,486 downloads/month, last push 2025-07 — fails the obvious-choice bar, same test as dropped peers).
Removed pytype (919,951 downloads/month — Google sunset, maintenance mode, Python 3.12 is the last supported version).
Merged Code Linters + Code Formatters into one Linters and Formatters use case (ruff is the 2026 de facto standard for both; tiers: ruff/black/isort obvious choices, pylint/flake8 second tier).
Re-homed bandit to new Security Linters subcategory (security linting is a distinct job from style linting).
Demoted typeshed to sub-item under mypy (stub infrastructure every checker consumes, not itself a checker holding a slot).
Promoted ty to obvious choice (maintainer call), order mypy/ty then pyrefly challenger.
Reordered Code Analysis subcategory vulture first (12.3M/month obvious choice, prospector 485K and repowise 33K challengers — repowise kept on maintainer flip).

Vinta ChenandClaude a2da210345 feat: stamp pypi downloads cache with fetched_at and header row
Adds a header row (name, downloads, fetched_at) to data/pypi_downloads.tsv
and stamps every row with the sweep date, so audits can tell evidence age
and skip re-fetching when the cache is less than 7 days old. The sweep
itself costs ~1s, so freshness is checked by the reader (audit-the-list
skill) instead of skip logic in the fetch script. SKILL.md documents the
7-day freshness rule.

Vinta ChenandClaude c6957d4c21 docs: require WebSearch evidence for tier judgments
Verifying keep/drop reasons with download counts alone isn't enough to judge obvious-choice vs challenger tiers; the maintainer requires WebSearch evidence of adoption trajectory and community sentiment too.

Vinta ChenandClaude 5da1d16de1 docs: define Second Tier in CONTEXT.md
The 2026-08-16 Database & Storage audit exposed a vocabulary gap: four adjudicated entries (clickhouse-driver, dogpile.cache, django-cacheops, django-haystack) are neither Obvious Choices nor trajectory-backed Challengers but demoted incumbents occupying Challenger slots, and the sitting had to improvise the term. The maintainer ratified it during review. A demoted incumbent counts against the two Challenger slots, but the adoption-trajectory bar gates only new admissions, not demotions.

Also from the same sitting: psycopg2 was deliberately left unlisted under Database Drivers > PostgreSQL (282M downloads/month as psycopg2-binary, pepy 2026-08-16) because psycopg 3 is the new-work answer and v2 is legacy install base. Recorded here so the next PostgreSQL audit knows it was a decision, not an oversight.

Official Python client for the Meilisearch engine, 1,107,508 downloads/month (pepy.tech, fetched 2026-08-16). Admitted on the engine's developer-tool adoption trajectory; flagged as the weakest add of the Database & Storage audit (maintainer adjudicated 2026-08-16) and a judgment call in the reviewed verdicts.

Renamed elasticsearch-py to elasticsearch per the PyPI-package-name naming rule in CONTRIBUTING.md; also fixes a NOT_FOUND row in every downloads sweep.

Reordered: elasticsearch (54,160,230/month pepy) obvious choice first, django-haystack (194,205/month pepy) kept and moved to second tier per maintainer's tier call during verdict review.

- Renamed python-diskcache to diskcache to match its PyPI package name per CONTRIBUTING.md naming rule; also fixes a NOT_FOUND row in every downloads sweep.
- Reordered by monthly downloads (pepy): cachetools (338,290,732) and diskcache (38,755,627) as obvious choices, then dogpile.cache (2,460,237) and django-cacheops (1,728,494) as second-tier challengers.

Vinta ChenandClaude 3a3b20c03d audit: sweep Database to the shortlist cap
Split the flat Database section into three subcategories (Analytical,
Vector, Key-Value & Document) since its 7 entries exceeded the shortlist
cap of 5 and the size reflected genuinely distinct jobs:

- Analytical: duckdb (obvious choice, 61,026,806 downloads/month), chdb
  (challenger, 3,564,786 downloads/month)
- Vector: chromadb (obvious choice, 13,048,822 downloads/month), zvec
  (challenger on star trajectory, 44,737 downloads/month, 15.4K stars
  in 8 months)
- Key-Value & Document: tinydb (obvious choice, 6,194,854 downloads/month)

Removed:
- pickledb (29,446 downloads/month) - toy key-value store
- ZODB (197,044 downloads/month) - Zope-era native object database
  nobody names unprompted in 2026; repo still active, this is a
  relevance call, not an abandonment call

Rewrote the section description from "Databases implemented in
Python" to "In-process databases usable directly from Python"
because duckdb, chdb, and zvec are not themselves implemented in
Python, and the written-in-Python scope test was already removed
from CONTRIBUTING.md.

First Audit of the section. Restructure first, maintainer-chosen at the
preview review: the flat section splits into Clients and a minted URL
Manipulation Subcategory holding yarl (661.9M/month via BigQuery,
aio-libs, active 2026-08) and httpx.URL as a no-signal pointer to the
URL class bundled with the kept httpx. Client tiers: requests, httpx,
aiohttp Obvious; urllib3 in the Challenger slot by structure (transport
layer under requests, count inflated by that), ordered by
downloads/month. Maintainer-adjudicated 2026-08-16.

Removed (downloads are PyPI last-30-day via ClickPy, fetched 2026-08-16):

- furl (6.3M/month via BigQuery, same source as the yarl comparison):
  URL manipulation, not an HTTP client; stdlib urllib.parse covers
  parsing/joining/encoding and the minted Subcategory carries the
  ergonomic successors - yarl outpulls it 105x; repo quiet since
  2026-02

Vinta ChenandClaude e7e17a8e97 style: reorder Authentication and Web Asset Management by downloads
Format-only outcomes of the 2026-08-16 Web Development Audit (no
removals): OAuth entries reordered by downloads/month (oauthlib,
authlib, django-allauth Obvious; django-oauth-toolkit Challenger),
Web Asset Management reordered (django-storages, django-compressor)
and its description gains "storing" to cover django-storages'
actual job. Template Engines, JWT, Permissions, WebSocket keeps
already sat in rule order.

First Audit of the section; maintainer adjudicated 2026-08-16.
Reordered by downloads/month (wagtail, django-cms).

Removed (downloads are PyPI last-30-day via BigQuery, fetched 2026-08-16):

- indico (3.2K/month): event-management application (CERN), not a CMS
  library; readers under CMS want wagtail/django-cms - judgment call

Vinta ChenandClaude 6b9a1cca57 audit: sweep Admin Panels to the shortlist cap
First Audit of the section (flat Section = one Use Case, 7 entries over
the cap). Restructure first: flower is the Celery monitoring dashboard,
not an admin-panel library - it re-homes to Task Queues as a sub-item
under celery (outside the cap, aws-sdk-pandas precedent; Task Queues
sits at the hard max 5). Kept: flask-admin, django-unfold (Obvious),
django-grappelli (Challenger), ordered by downloads/month.
Maintainer-adjudicated 2026-08-16.

Removed (downloads are PyPI last-30-day via BigQuery, fetched 2026-08-16):

- ajenti (4.5K/month; its ajenti-panel package adds 4.5K): Linux server
  control panel application, not a Python admin library
- func-to-web (3.5K/month): repo created 2025-10, 425 stars; no adoption
- jet-bridge (3.7K/month): bridge into the Jet Admin SaaS, not a library
  readers seek here

Vinta ChenandClaude 69e03b7e47 audit: sweep WebSocket to the shortlist cap
First Audit of the section; maintainer adjudicated 2026-08-16 at the

Challenger; Obvious slots are websockets, channels, flask-socketio).
Reordered by downloads/month within tiers.

Removed (downloads are PyPI last-30-day via BigQuery, fetched 2026-08-16):

- picows (66.3K/month): 290 stars; Challenger bar (adoption
  trajectory) not met

Vinta ChenandClaude fb35807e83 audit: sweep Web Servers to the shortlist cap
First Audit of the section. Restructure first: the RPC Subcategory is
not an "ASGI and WSGI compatible web server" - it moves to Web APIs,
whose description gains RPC; grpcio rides the move. ASGI reordered by
downloads/month (uvicorn Obvious; granian, hypercorn Challengers -
hypercorn kept with a watch, repo quiet since 2025-11).
Maintainer-adjudicated 2026-08-16.

Removed (downloads are PyPI last-30-day via BigQuery, fetched 2026-08-16):

- daphne (6.5M/month): installed as Django Channels' dependency, not
  chosen standalone; judgment call
- uwsgi (2.0M/month): officially in maintenance mode; repo quiet since
  2025-10
- rpyc (1.6M/month): repo last push 2025-08-14, exactly 12 months -
  at the abandonment line

Vinta ChenandClaude b26c30d4a9 audit: sweep Web APIs to the shortlist cap
First Audit of the section; maintainer adjudicated 2026-08-16 at the
preview review, flipping django-modern-rest to keep (enters as the
Django Challenger; Obvious slots stay django-rest-framework,
django-ninja, strawberry-django). Tiers reordered by downloads/month.

Removed (downloads are PyPI last-30-day via BigQuery, fetched 2026-08-16):

- falcon (1.8M/month): active, but not named unprompted since
  fastapi/litestar; judgment call
- sanic (1.8M/month): same judgment as falcon - declining mindshare,
  successor to nothing
- webargs (3.8M/month): request-parsing helper, not an API framework;
  wrong job for the section

Vinta ChenandClaude f39d00da31 audit: sweep Web Frameworks to the shortlist cap
First Audit of the section; maintainer adjudicated 2026-08-16 at the
preview review, flipping pyramid to keep (enters as Synchronous
Challenger beside fasthtml; the three Obvious slots stay flask, django,
bottle). Both tiers reordered by downloads/month per the ordering rule.

Removed (downloads are PyPI last-30-day via BigQuery, fetched 2026-08-16):

- masonite (26.4K/month): no adoption; Laravel-style niche
- microdot (10.4K/month): MicroPython-targeted, genuinely small audience
- robyn (50.9K/month): installs never followed the buzz

Vinta ChenandClaude fcac01955c feat: add pepy.tech spot-check helper for download audits
Maintainer registered a free pepy API key (PEPY_TECH_API_KEY in the gitignored repo-root .env). fetch_pepy_downloads.py sums the most recent 30 days from the v2 per-day data, throttled to the free tier's 5 requests/minute, and prints TSV without touching the single-source cache file.

The audit-the-list skill's downloads bullet is rewritten in the same commit because the ClickPy-default change made its old --dry-run-first instruction fail; it now documents all three sources (ClickPy, BigQuery, pepy/pypistats) and the never-mix-mirror-counting rule.

Vinta ChenandClaude fd79813dde feat: switch default PyPI download source to ClickPy
BigQuery required a personal Google Cloud account, so only the maintainer could run it and overruns cost real money. ClickPy is ClickHouse's free, keyless public mirror of the same PyPI download dataset, so it becomes the default source with a single batched query covering the full README in under a second.

BigQuery stays available behind a new --bigquery flag as the canonical-source cross-check; --dry-run now only applies to that path.

Live-tested: ClickPy full path (2/2 names), the --dry-run guard, and the BigQuery dry-run.
