    Hue names the subject, the stroke pattern names the actor: solid for the whole corpus, dotted for teknium1, dash‑dot for GottZ. L reads on the left axis (nodes), R on the right axis (comments and reviews).

    The visible series as a table

    What the corpus does not show

    read this before reading the curves
    • Issues start late The issue series begins on 2026-02-10. That is the harvest boundary, not the beginning of the repository — every earlier issue is simply absent from the corpus. The gold rule in the diagram marks the day.
    • Reviews start later than pull requests Review timestamps begin on 2025-09-12, roughly 48 days after the first pull requests and comments. The review series is therefore structurally zero for those first days — that is the harvest, not a defect.
    • Closing dates were backfilled on 2026-07-30 closed_at had never been written by the harvester; 48,280 closing timestamps were fetched from the GitHub API on 2026-07-30. PRs closed and issues closed therefore carry real data from the whole period, but they were reconstructed after the fact, not observed as they happened. Since the closed total now exceeds the merged total, the additive reading takes closed_at as the pull request outflow. Before the backfill it took merged_at. Only one of the two is subtracted: a merged pull request is closed on GitHub too, so counting both would count the same departure twice.
    • The early months are nearly empty Measured on the live corpus: from 2025-07 to 2026-01 there are 14 pull requests in total; the mass begins in 2026-02 and after. The long flat run on the left of the diagram is the corpus, not a rendering fault.
    • Actor series are subsets teknium1 and GottZ series are contained in the corpus series of the same hue. In the subtractive reading they are drawn as lines over the bars and never stacked into them — stacking a subset onto its superset would double count.
