Vinta ChenandClaude 66ac5fc775 docs: record 2026-08-23 audit sitting outcomes
Add a Stability Exceptions section to docs/audit-logs.md documenting
the zensical override (admitted pre-1.0 to displace a dying mkdocs
upstream). Add a matching evidence bullet to CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md
warning that a download count is not automatically independent demand
when one listed entry depends on another, using mkdocs / mkdocs-material
as the worked example. Both facts were discovered during this sitting
and need to persist so the next audit doesn't rediscover them.

# AGENTS.md
An opinionated guide to the best Python frameworks, libraries, and tools.
[README.md](README.md) is the single source of content truth; `website/` renders it into the static site: [awesome-python.com](https://awesome-python.com/).
## Entry Rules
[CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) holds the admission rules, quality requirements, rejection rules, entry format, and ordering. Apply it whenever adding or removing an entry — direct commits included, not only PR reviews.
- Every keep/drop reason must be verified against current online data at decision time — download counts, repo activity and archived status, PyPI metadata, project docs. Judging tiers — obvious choice vs challenger — also requires WebSearch evidence (adoption trajectory, community sentiment), not download counts alone. Training-data recollections are not evidence; label anything unverifiable as a judgment call.
- A download count is not automatically independent demand. When one listed entry depends on another, check `requires_dist` on PyPI before citing the depended-on entry's count: mkdocs-material hard-depends on mkdocs, so mkdocs' figure exceeded mkdocs-material's by only about one percent and nearly all of it was mkdocs-material pulling it in.
- One entry per commit when adding or deleting entries. Exceptions: a prune sweep is one commit per section, its body listing each removal with its reason; format, wording, or categorization changes may be bundled. Cross-section re-homes ride the originating audit's commit (both sides of the move in one diff).
- Resources sections are not project entries: out of audit scope, and the website never parses them.
- Sponsor placement never influences which projects get listed — see [SPONSORSHIP.md](SPONSORSHIP.md).
