+    |  The dip around March 14-25, 2026 is not a broken chart. v0.13.2 was
+    |  temporarily marked as a pre-release, which sent
+    code  /releases/latest
+    |  traffic back to v0.13.1 and materially reduced downloads. A few March
+    |  collection runs also failed due to GitHub API rate limits, so short
+    |  gaps are interpolated instead of being backfilled with guessed data.
