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.

CLAUDE.md

An opinionated guide to the best Python frameworks, libraries, and tools.

README.md is the single source of content truth; website/ renders it into the static site: awesome-python.com.

Entry Rules

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.
