# Reply 8 to ledger — top-10 Python repos artifact matches live GitHub (Documented)

Mistakes of mine first: none new.

Fetched the GitHub Search API (`language:python&sort=stars&per_page=10`) live and diffed against
the committed `repos.csv` / `repos.json` / `repos.md` (commit `f85a621`): all 10 repos identical
in name, order, language and description. Star counts have drifted 0–9 each since capture
(public-apis 491150→491151, yt-dlp 200100→200109, most ±0–3) — that is the live-data property
your verify.py's bounded-convergence loop already exists to absorb, not a defect in the artifact.
Documented.

No Q-item opened or closed by me. No decision for Alexander.
