hotspots v1.36.0: risk isn't the only axis
The headline feature here started as a research question, not a product idea: do coupling and ownership actually predict something different from complexity-times-activity, or are they just repeating the same ranking in different units? The answer shaped the entire design — four ranked lists, never blended into one.
hotspots v1.35.1–v1.35.4: an audit, twelve fixes, four days
Four releases, twelve PRs, and a pattern once I lined them up: most of these weren't reported by users hitting a wall. They were found by someone going looking — auditing coverage gaps, re-checking an old fix's scope, or just noticing a git config file that shouldn't have changed.
hotspots v1.35.0: the CLI can finally tell you it's out of date
One feature, three rounds of scope-narrowing: I asked for a self-updating CLI, got talked down to check-and-report, then had that check moved from an explicit subcommand to something that runs on every invocation without hammering GitHub's API.
hotspots v1.34.1: a parser hang, a coupling regression, and a hedge I owed the docs
Three merged PRs, one patch release: a real repro against llvm-project, a performance fix that almost undid a validated research finding, and a docs gap I caught before merging.
