Bug: sort=stars returned the same viral repos every cycle (ponytail 77K⭐
dominated for 26 days). A 5-day-old repo with 3K stars (600/d) was
ranked below it despite having nearly 2x the growth velocity.
Fix:
- Fetch repos created in last 30 days (was 14)
- Re-sort by velocity (stars/day) instead of total stars
- Score formula: 70% velocity + 30% absolute stars
- Added 3rd query for breadth (autonomous agent OR AI tool)
- Added stars_per_day to raw_metadata for queryability
- Added velocity field to metadata
