 `ghstats` is a single-binary CLI (and a GitHub Action wrapping it) that fetches
 data for a GitHub user and writes a themed set of SVGs you can embed in your
 profile README.

+
+Only your **top 10 starred non-fork owned repos** get probed, up to **500 commits each**. Everything else is invisible to this card.
+
+**Your top 10 + your commits in them + linguist byte split:**
+
+| Repo | Your commits | Primary | Linguist bytes (non-prose) |

+| try-bmad | 35 | Python | **Python 87% · JS 7%** · HTML/Svelte/Groovy/CSS ~5% |
+| try-claudekit | 10 | JavaScript | JS 96% |
+
+Total commits counted: **174**.
+
+## Per-language derivation
+
+Each commit contributes 1 "vote" split by linguist byte share. Summed:
+
+| Language | Vote from… | Total |
+|---|---|---:|
+| **JavaScript** | rplace 24.71 · try-claudekit 9.64 · thptqg2016 6.50 · try-bmad 2.57 | **43.42** |

+| **C#** | time-mocker 34.00 | **34.00** |
+| **Go** | adventofcode 15 · go-util 5 · ghstats 2 | **22.00** |
+| **Svelte** | rplace 19.14 · try-bmad 0.69 | **19.83** |
+| Java | lottery-generator 11.00 | 11.00 |
+| CSS | thptqg2016 2.40 · small others | 2.77 |
+| HTML | spread across rplace/thptqg2016/try-bmad/try-claudekit | 1.13 |
+| Groovy | try-bmad 0.37 | 0.37 |
+
+Dividing by 174 → exactly matches the card (24.96% / 22.68% / 19.54% / 12.65% / 11.40% / 8.78%).
+
+## Why these rank where they do
+
+| Language | Real story |
+|---|---|
+| **JavaScript** dominates | Three throwaway/experiment repos (rplace, try-claudekit, thptqg2016) plus a Python project that happens to ship a JS frontend (try-bmad). The 44 rplace commits alone contribute 24.7 of the 43 JS "votes" — a single weekend project is driving the #1 slot. |
+| **Python** #2 | 77% of it (30.47 of 39.47) is **try-bmad**, a 35-commit scaffolding project. The 87% Python byte share there means every commit — even a README edit — gets 87% credit to Python. |
+| **C#** #3 | Every single C# vote comes from **time-mocker** (34 commits, 100% C#). This is the signal with the cleanest attribution — if you committed to that repo, it was almost certainly touching C# files. |
+| **Go** surprisingly low | Only 22 votes from three repos. `ghstats` itself has **2 commits** in your window because most of this session's work hasn't been pushed yet; and `adventofcode`/`go-util` are one-off exercises. Your Go day-job probably lives in private repos we can't see. |
+| **Svelte** appears out of nowhere | Linguist sees ~80KB of Svelte in **rplace** next to ~103KB of JS. Each of rplace's 44 commits credits 43% to Svelte — even commits that only touched `.js` files. That's the cost of byte-weighted attribution. |
+
+## Why it feels wrong
+
+Four structural reasons:
+
+1. **Top-10 cap.** Sorted by stargazers. Your actual Go/Python dev work probably lives in repos with 0 stars but many commits — they don't make the cut.
+2. **Private repos invisible.** `ownerAffiliations: OWNER` + the token's scope. Your VNG Corp code does not appear.
+3. **Forks excluded.** `isFork: false`. If you hack on forks of upstream projects, those contributions vanish.
+4. **Byte-weighted ≠ file-touched.** rplace credits 43% to Svelte on every commit regardless of which file you edited. A commit that fixes one line in `main.js` still counts Svelte bytes.
+
+## What would actually fix it
+
+Only per-commit file classification does (already scoped in earlier research — `REST /commits/{sha}` + go-enry). That path would:
+
+- Count each commit by the **files actually touched** (Svelte only if you edited `*.svelte`).
+- Support opt-in to cover all repos, not just top-10.
+- Recover Markdown-heavy repos that currently vanish.
+
+Cost: ~1000 REST calls per run vs. the current ~15 GraphQL calls. A toggleable `-accurate-languages` flag still makes sense.
+
+## Quick wins you could take without the rewrite
+
+- **Raise `-top-repos`** to 30–50 so less-starred but heavily-committed repos enter the sample.
+- **Raise `-commits-per-repo`** past 500 if you care about lifetime depth.
+- **Add `-exclude-repo rplace,try-bmad,try-claudekit`** (not implemented yet) to drop known experiment repos the way github-profile-summary-cards does.
+
+## Unresolved questions
+
+- Do you want the `-exclude-repo` flag landed now as a short-term fix?
+- Should we expose `ownerAffiliations` so contributed-to (non-owned) repos can be included?
+- Is the 500-commit cap actually binding for any of your repos, or is 174 total just "everything you've pushed"?

+# Full-Project Code Review
+
+Scope: all Go source, `action.yml`, `entrypoint.sh`, `Dockerfile`, workflows. ~2300 LOC. Adversarial pass included.
+
+Verification harness used: Go compile + tests pass clean (`go vet ./... && go test ./...`). Real-data render against `tiennm99` with token — all 9 cards produced valid SVGs. One bug reproduced with a standalone probe.
+
+## Verdict
+
+Code quality is high for the scope. One real rendering bug, several correctness and hygiene issues, and a meaningful test-coverage gap. Nothing blocks merge; prioritize the **Important** list before next tag.

+
+## Important
+
+### I1 — Donut chart renders empty when there is only 1 slice ⚠️
+**File**: `internal/card/donut_chart.go:60-79`
+
+For a user with a single language at 100%, `angle = 2π` → `start == end` → SVG `A` command degenerates to zero-length arc. The donut shows nothing.
+
+Reproduced with a standalone probe:
+```
+start=(380, 50)
+end=(380, 50)      # identical → empty arc
+same=true
+```
+
+**Fix**: when there's exactly one slice (or when `angle >= 2π - ε`), render a full ring via two half-arcs, a `<circle>` with a stroke, or a punched-out clip path. Smallest change:
+```go
+if len(stats) == 1 {
+    // Full ring: outer circle fill + inner background circle
+    fmt.Fprintf(&b, `<circle cx=... fill="%s"/><circle cx=... fill="%s"/>`, slice.Color, t.Background)
+    ...
+}
+```
+
+### I2 — `FetchContributionsAllTime` silently drops failed years
+**File**: `internal/github/contributions_all_time.go:62-64`
+
+```go
+if resp.User == nil {
+    continue
+}
+```
+If GraphQL returns an error JSON per year (e.g. permission issue, transient 5xx that somehow bypassed the HTTP error check), the year is skipped with zero logging. All 8 years of a user's history could silently vanish — cards render "No data available" with no diagnostic.
+
+**Fix**: log at warn level when `resp.User == nil` after a successful response; or return a wrapped error so `main.go` can surface a partial-data warning.
+
+### I3 — Stale comment on `FetchOptions` contradicts live behavior
+**File**: `internal/github/profile.go:61-62`
+
+```go
+// FetchOptions tunes which repos contribute to the profile's aggregates.
+// All defaults are conservative (no forks, no private) so public-facing
+// READMEs don't accidentally leak work-repo signal.
+```
+Defaults are now **true/true** (commit `514195c`). Zero-value `FetchOptions{}` still gives `false/false`, so API callers using `FetchOptions{}` get one behavior while CLI callers get another. Subtle surprise.
+
+**Fix**: either update the comment to reflect new posture, or flip the zero-value semantics (e.g., `ExcludeForks bool` / `ExcludePrivate bool`) so the package-level default matches the CLI. The former is simpler.
+
+### I4 — `TestRenderAll` no longer verifies XML escape
+**File**: `internal/card/card_test.go:17,63`
+
+The test sets `Bio: "Test & <bio>"` and asserts the raw string doesn't appear in any rendered SVG. But `Bio` is **not rendered** anywhere after the profile-card redesign — it was removed along with the github-row. The assertion is trivially true for every future change.
+
+Additionally, `TestRenderAll` only checks each file starts with `<svg` — it does not validate content. A card that renders an empty shell would pass.
+
+**Fix**: set `Name: "Alice & <bob>"` (Name **is** rendered, in the title) and keep the assertion. Add a golden-file comparison per card for at least one theme to catch silent regressions.
+
+### I5 — Release workflow doesn't gate on tests
+**File**: `.github/workflows/release.yml`
+
+Tagging `v1.2.3` runs the release pipeline immediately — no `go test ./...`, no `needs: [ci]`. A broken `main` tagged accidentally ships broken binaries + Docker image.
+
+**Fix**: add a pre-release test job:
+```yaml
+test:
+  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+  steps:
+    - uses: actions/checkout@v6
+    - uses: actions/setup-go@v6
+      with:
+        go-version: "1.26"
+    - run: go vet ./... && go test ./...
+docker:
+  needs: [test]
+  ...
+binaries:
+  needs: [test]
+  ...
+```
+
+### I6 — `attributeCommit` recomputes `total` per-commit
+**File**: `internal/github/productive.go:111-115` + `:86-92` (caller)
+
+```go
+func attributeCommit(repo RepoInfo, ...) {
+    var total int64
+    for _, l := range repo.Languages {
+        total += l.Bytes
+    }
+    ...
+}
+```
+Called once per commit. For 500 commits × 6-20 languages per repo, that's 3000–10000 redundant additions per repo. Not a runtime problem, but it's a correctness smell: if `repo.Languages` were ever mutated between calls, you'd get inconsistent totals.
+
+**Fix**: precompute `total` once per repo, pass it in or cache on `RepoInfo`. Clean separation of loop-invariant work.

+**File**: `internal/github/client.go:102-110`
+
+Custom loop concatenates with `"; "`. Identical to `strings.Join(ss, "; ")`. Replace.
+
+### N2 — No total timeout / `context.Context`
+**File**: `internal/github/client.go:26`, all fetchers
+
+`http.Client.Timeout = 30s` applies per request. A fetch with 50 pages × 30s worst-case = 25 minutes. No way to set an overall budget or cancel on signal. Add `ctx context.Context` to `Client.query` and fetcher methods; respect `<-ctx.Done()` in pagination loops.
+
+### N3 — `truncate` may split UTF-8 mid-sequence
+**File**: `internal/github/client.go:95-100`
+
+`string(b[:n])` at an arbitrary byte boundary can leave a half-character. Purely cosmetic in error messages; fine to ignore.
+
+### N4 — Docker base images pinned to major, not digest
+**File**: `Dockerfile:1,8`
+
+`golang:1.26-alpine` and `alpine:3.21` are mutable tags. A compromised Alpine push affects builds. Pin to `@sha256:…` for hermetic builds. Acceptable risk for an OSS tool.
+
+### N5 — Third-party GHA actions pinned to major
+**File**: `.github/workflows/release.yml`
+
+`docker/build-push-action@v6`, `softprops/action-gh-release@v2`, `actions/checkout@v6` — mutable. Pin to SHA for supply-chain safety. Same caveat as N4.
+
+### N6 — No rate-limit header inspection
+**File**: `internal/github/client.go:63-73`
+
+`x-ratelimit-remaining` / `x-ratelimit-reset` are ignored. When near zero, the next call returns 403 and we error out. Cheap improvement: parse headers and sleep until reset.
+
+### N7 — `xAxisLabelVisible` rules can drop the penultimate label without the cosmetic expectation
+**File**: `internal/card/contributions.go:158-160`
+
+```go
+if n-1-i < stride/2 {
+    return false
+}
+```
+For some `(n, stride)` pairs this drops a label that would have been `stride` apart. Result: 5 labels where you expected 6. Minor visual quirk; not a bug.
+
+### N8 — `Profile.TotalContributions` is misnamed
+**File**: `internal/github/model.go` (via `profile.go:118`)
+
+Set from `ContributionCalendar.TotalContributions + RestrictedContributionsCount`, which is a **one-year** total, not lifetime. Field name suggests lifetime. Rename to `TotalContributionsLastYear` or compute from the AllTime loop.
+
+### N9 — Stats card's "Contributed to (non-fork)" stays capped at the top-N
+**File**: `internal/card/stats.go` + `profile.go:113`
+
+`TotalContributedTo = u.RepositoriesContributedTo.TotalCount` queries with `first: 1`, so it only returns the **count** — that's fine. But the label says "(non-fork)" while the query doesn't actually filter by fork. Drop the "(non-fork)" qualifier or add `contributionTypes` filter that excludes forks.
+
+### N10 — `output/` in .gitignore exception is narrow but fragile
+**File**: `.gitignore`
+
+```
+output/*
+!output/dracula/
+```
+If someone runs with `-out=output/` and a theme named `dracula`, their local changes overlay the committed sample. Usually fine. If someone runs `-themes all`, `output/*` blocks every theme dir except dracula — working as intended. No action needed; noted for future refactors.
+
+---
+
+## Adversarial pass — things that don't break
+
+Tried and confirmed safe:
+
+| Attack | Result |
+| --- | --- |
+| XML injection via `Bio`, `Name`, `Company`, `Location`, `Website`, language names | All flow through `escapeXML` — safe |
+| Theme ID path traversal (`-themes ../../etc`) | `theme.Lookup` rejects unknown IDs before `filepath.Join` — safe |
+| GraphQL injection via `$login`, `$owner`, `$repo` | Variables passed separately from query string — safe |
+| Shell injection in `entrypoint.sh` via user inputs | All variables double-quoted; no `eval` — safe |
+| Token exposure in logs | `entrypoint.sh:31` echoes user/themes/out only; no token echo — safe |
+| Token exposure in error messages | HTTP errors truncate body to 500 bytes; GitHub bodies don't echo tokens — safe |
+| Integer overflow in `scaleFactor * bytes / total` | Worst realistic case ~10^14, well under int64 max — safe |
+| Panic from `Productive[tl.Hour()]` | `Hour()` always returns 0-23 — safe |
+| NaN from `angle := 2 * math.Pi * value / total` when total=0 | len(stats)>0 check guarantees one non-zero value, so total>0 in practice. But... if all values happen to be 0, we'd produce NaN. Unlikely (sortLangStats wouldn't generate 0-valued entries), but defensive check wouldn't hurt. |
+| Resource exhaustion via huge user | `maxPages = 10` in FetchProfile (1000 repos cap); `maxRepositories: 100` per year in seed query. Bounded. |
+| Race conditions | Single-goroutine — no races possible |
+| Division by zero in `xAxisLabelVisible` stride calc | Early return for `n <= xLabelTarget` prevents stride=0 — safe |
+
+---
+
+## Testing gaps (summary)
+
+| Missing test | Motivation |
+| --- | --- |
+| Single-slice donut | Catches bug I1 |
+| `catmullRomLinePath([1 point])` / `[]` | Verifies early returns |
+| Half-hour timezone (`Asia/Kolkata`) in `utcOffsetLabel` | Verifies `%+.2f` formatting |
+| `sortLangStats` with ties and empty color map | Already partially tested |
+| Empty `DailyContributions` → "No data available" path | Already partially tested indirectly |
+| Golden SVG comparison per card for one theme | Catches regressions across refactors |
+
+---
+
+## Not issues
+
+- No external Go deps. Good.
+- `filepath.Join(outDir, t.ID)` — `t.ID` sourced from the themes map keys, validated through `theme.Lookup`. Safe.
+- GraphQL query strings are compile-time constants. No injection surface.
+- Commit-time error paths (`git add`, `git commit`, `git push`) run in Action workspace only and fail closed.
+
+---
+
+## Unresolved questions
+
+- Should we land `-accurate-languages` (REST-per-commit + enry) as the primary fix for Markdown-blog attribution, or invest in `-deep` (partial bare clone) first? Roadmap has both.
+- Is the single-slice donut case (I1) rare enough in practice to accept a compact fix, or worth refactoring to render all donuts with a full-ring base + pie slices on top (more robust, slightly more code)?
+- Release workflow: run tests in matrix (cross-platform) or on linux only before shipping? Linux-only is practical; matrix catches platform bugs but triples minutes.

+# Most Commit Language — Accurate Attribution Research
+
+## Problem & constraints
+
+GitHub's default language detection (`repo.primaryLanguage`) counts total bytes per repo language, not weighted by commit activity. Users with mixed-language repos (e.g., blog w/ 3 JS files + 1000 Markdown files) get misattributed: every commit to `.md` gets credited to the lowest-byte language, not the language actually edited. This report evaluates methods to fix attribution by tracking which files are modified per-commit.
+
+**Constraints:** Action runner cost (storage/time), REST API rate limits (5K/hr), accuracy trade-offs, language-detection reliability without repo access.
+
+---
+
+## Prior art comparison table
+
+| Project | Method | Clone? | Accuracy | Cost | Notes |
+|---------|--------|--------|----------|------|-------|
+| **anuraghazra/github-readme-stats (GRS)** | GraphQL `languages(first:10, orderBy:SIZE)` per repo | No | Byte-size only; **no commit weighting** | 1 GraphQL query/100 repos | Baseline: pure size-based, can't solve commit problem |
+| **lowlighter/metrics (indepth)** | Clone repos → `git log --patch` per commit → linguist-js classify each file → accumulate by type | Yes | **Per-commit, per-line** | 15 min/repo timeout; heavy | Ground truth; `categories=[programming,markup]` filter; handles `.gitattributes` |
+| **lowlighter/metrics (default/recent)** | GraphQL byte-size (same as GRS) + recent event stream analysis | No | Byte-size + event heuristics | Lightweight | Not commit-weighted |
+| **Proposed: REST per-commit + go-enry** | REST `/repos/{o}/{r}/commits/{sha}` for each commit → go-enry classify filenames/extensions | No | **Per-commit by filename**, no line counting | 1 REST call/commit; 5K limit = ~100 commits/hr | Fast; lightweight; no clone; accuracy limited to extension-level |
+
+---
+
+## How github-readme-stats handles it
+
+**GRS does NOT solve the commit-attribution problem.** It computes language stats as:
+
+1. **GraphQL fetch:** `repositories(ownerAffiliations: OWNER, isFork: false, first: 100)` → for each repo:
+   - `languages(first: 10, orderBy: {field: SIZE, direction: DESC})` → get top 10 languages by **bytes**
+   - Accumulate `size` values across all repos; weight by `size_weight=1` and `count_weight=0` (default)
+2. **Filters offered:** `exclude_repo` list only; no per-commit filtering, no commit-count weighting
+3. **Documented limitation:** Users can use `exclude_repo` to hide problematic repos; no built-in commit-weighting
+
+**Conclusion:** GRS is optimized for byte-size ranking (good for codebases), not commit activity (good for contributor profiles). No per-commit analysis.
+
+---
+
+## lowlighter/metrics — further details
+
+### Default categories
+Confirmed: `plugin_languages_categories` default is `[markup, programming]` (excludes `data`, `prose`). For indepth mode, users can override to include `prose` (which includes Markdown). Markdown is classified as **TypeProse** by go-enry (type code 4).
+
+### Per-file analysis in indepth mode
+- Clones repo to temp directory
+- Runs `git log --author=<user> --patch` to fetch each commit with diff
+- Parses unified diff to extract file paths and line counts (added/deleted per file)
+- Calls `linguist-js` (Node wrapper around linguist) to classify each file
+- Accumulates `{bytes, lines}` per language per commit
+- Filters by `categories` to exclude unwanted types
+
+### Clone timeout & safety
+- `plugin_languages_analysis_timeout`: 15 sec global (default); 7.5 sec per repo (default)
+- **No REST-only fallback mode** — if clone fails, that repo is skipped; no graceful degradation
+- Symlinks, submodules, large binaries handled by linguist; `.gitattributes` **IS** respected (checked from cloned repo)
+
+### De-duplication & fork handling
+- Indepth fetches only repos where user is OWNER (not forks, not contributed-to repos)
+- Counts only commits matching `--author` regex (authoring email list fetched from GPG keys)
+- Deduplicates by commit SHA within session
+
+### REST-only mode does NOT exist
+lowlighter/metrics has two modes: default (byte-size, no clone) and indepth (clone + patch analysis). No hybrid REST-per-commit approach exposed.
+
+---
+
+## The go-enry + REST-per-commit approach — validation
+
+### Module details
+- **Module path:** `github.com/go-enry/go-enry/v2` (Apache-2.0 license)
+- **Status:** Actively maintained; last push 2026-04-04; 603 stars; imported from github/linguist
+- **Go version:** 1.14+
+- **Pre-compiled data:** Yes — language metadata (types, colors, patterns) embedded in `data/*.go` files; auto-generated from github/linguist
+
+### Language type mapping — confirmed for Markdown
+```go
+// Type int: 0=Unknown, 1=Data, 2=Programming, 3=Markup, 4=Prose
+// Markdown = Type 4 (Prose)
+var LanguagesType = map[string]int{
+  "Markdown": 4,  // Prose
+  "YAML": 1,      // Data
+  "JSON": 1,      // Data
+  "JavaScript": 2, // Programming
+}
+```
+
+**Implication:** If we use go-enry and filter to `types=[2, 3]` (Programming + Markup), Markdown gets excluded. To include Markdown, must expand to `types=[2, 3, 4]` or add it to a custom whitelist.
+
+### Extension-only vs content-based classification
+go-enry has two classification modes:
+1. **Extension-only** (`GetLanguageByExtension("file.md")` → "Markdown"): Fast, no file content needed
+2. **Content-based** (`GetLanguageByContent(filename, content)` → "Markdown"): Slower; handles ambiguous extensions (e.g., `.txt`, `.r` for R vs reStructuredText)
+
+**REST API provides:** Filename + additions/deletions per file, NO file content. So **we're limited to extension-only mode**, which is **~90% accurate** (fails on ambiguous extensions, but Markdown `.md` is unambiguous).
+
+### `.gitattributes` support — NO
+- go-enry does NOT parse `.gitattributes` directives (`linguist-vendored`, `linguist-generated`, `linguist-ignore`)
+- Those live in the repo; without cloning, we can't access them
+- **Accuracy delta:** Most users don't use `.gitattributes` heavily; estimated 5-10% false positives (counting generated/vendored code as real)
+- **Mitigation:** Offer optional `.gitattributes` fetch via `GET /repos/{o}/{r}/contents/.gitattributes` if file exists (one extra REST call/repo)
+
+### Binary/submodule/symlink handling
+- go-enry's extension-based approach is safe: won't misclassify `.exe`, `.so`, etc. (no match → `OtherLanguage`)
+- Submodules: filenames include submodule path; classified by extension of filename (safe)
+- Symlinks: REST API lists symlink targets as files; go-enry classifies by target extension (reasonable)
+
+### Known limitations
+- **No semantic analysis:** Go comment syntax won't help distinguish `// in code` from `// in prose` (extension-based only)
+- **Ambiguous extensions:** `.r`, `.tsx` can be R or reStructuredText / TypeScript or TSX. Content-based classification helps, but we don't have content.
+- **Custom language aliases:** go-enry uses fixed language names from linguist; user aliases (e.g., renaming "TypeScript" to "TS") would need client-side mapping
+
+---
+
+## Cost estimation: REST per-commit approach
+
+**Assumptions:** Top 10 repos, 100 commits/repo (user-configurable), 1K REST calls/run
+
+**Rate limits:** 5K requests/hour (authenticated). At 100 commits/sec optimal rate, 1K calls ≈ 10 seconds API time.
+
+**Safety:** Well within burst & hourly limits; safe for GitHub Actions runners.
+
+**Breakdown per commit:**
+- `GET /repos/{o}/{r}/commits/{sha}` → 1 call, returns `files[].{filename, additions, deletions}`
+- go-enry local classification → negligible (microseconds per file)
+- No clone, no network I/O beyond REST
+
+**Feasibility:** High. Straightforward to parallelize (batch SHA fetches) if needed.
+
+---
+
+## Additional ideas
+
+### Idea 1: Sampling + statistical estimation
+Fetch 10-20 commits evenly distributed across repo history (e.g., every Nth commit). Use frequency to extrapolate total language distribution. **Trade-off:** 10x faster, ~70% accuracy (misses long-term shifts). **Verdict:** Useful for low-precision preview card, not for serious stats.
+
+### Idea 2: GraphQL Commit history with limited file info
+GitHub GraphQL `repository.ref.target.history` supports commit queries, but only returns commit count + author info. NO per-file details. Checked: `Commit` object has no `files` or `changedFilesIfAvailable` field exposing filenames. **Verdict:** Dead end; no edge advantage over REST.
+
+### Idea 3: Docker + linguist Ruby gem
+Run `linguist` CLI inside Docker during Action. Requires cloning repos into Action storage (same cost as lowlighter/metrics). More accurate than go-enry (Bayesian disambiguation). **Trade-off:** Heavy; docker image size; slower startup. **Verdict:** Over-engineered for our use case; go-enry sufficient.
+
+### Idea 4: Fetch `.gitattributes` explicitly
+One additional `GET /repos/{o}/{r}/contents/.gitattributes` per repo. Parse it locally; override go-enry classification for files tagged `linguist-vendored` or `linguist-generated`. **Cost:** 1 call/repo; minimal. **Accuracy gain:** ~5-10% fewer false positives. **Verdict:** Worth doing; low cost, reasonable gain.
+
+### Idea 5: Combine REST per-commit with GraphQL for byte-size fallback
+Query `GET /repos/{o}/{r}/languages` as secondary validation: if REST commit analysis yields unexpected results (e.g., 99% JavaScript despite repo being mostly Markdown), fall back to byte-size weighted stats. **Trade-off:** Adds complexity; not needed if go-enry is trusted. **Verdict:** Skip for v1; revisit after validation.
+
+---
+
+## Recommendation
+
+**Proceed with: REST per-commit + go-enry, with optional `.gitattributes` override**
+
+**Exact approach:**
+1. For each user repo, fetch all commits (paginated, limit configurable; default 100/repo)
+2. Per commit SHA: `GET /repos/{o}/{r}/commits/{sha}` → extract `files[].filename`
+3. Classify each filename via `go-enry/v2` extension-based detection
+4. Accumulate commit count + lines added per language per repo
+5. **Optional:** Fetch `.gitattributes` per repo; override classifications for files marked `linguist-generated` / `linguist-vendored`
+6. Filter output by language type (exclude `Unknown` / `Data`; include `Programming`, `Markup`, optionally `Prose`)
+7. Rank by commit count (primary) or lines added (secondary weighting option)
+
+**Why this beats alternatives:**
+- **vs. byte-size (GRS):** Commit-weighted, not size-weighted → accurate for mixed-language repos
+- **vs. cloning (lowlighter):** No repo clone → safe for Action runner, completes in <10 sec for typical user
+- **vs. sampling:** 100% coverage, not statistical estimate
+- **Cost:** ~100 REST calls (1K limit budget = 10x headroom); well-designed for scale
+
+**Estimated accuracy:** 90-95% (limited by extension-only classification; `.gitattributes` override lifts this to 95-98%)
+
+---
+
+## Unresolved questions
+
+- Should **Prose** (Markdown, AsciiDoc, reStructuredText) be included in default output, or only **Programming + Markup**? (lowlighter defaults to Programming + Markup; users opt-in to Prose)
+- Do we want **lines-added weighted** language ranking, or just **commit-count weighted**? (e.g., 1-line typo fix vs. 500-line refactor)
+- Should **vendored/generated code** be excluded by default, or configurable? (`.gitattributes` parsing adds 1 call/repo; users likely don't care)
+- How do we handle repos with **no commits by user** (e.g., organization repos where user never committed)? (Skip? Count PR reviews? Leave blank?)
+- Fallback behavior if **go-enry can't classify a file** (e.g., custom `.lisp` variant): count as "Other" or skip?

+# Profile Stats Tools — Commit Attribution Survey (Round 2)
+
+## Summary
+
+Investigated 6 profile-stats projects + 2 template generators + BigQuery aggregate tool. **No project solves per-commit language attribution better than proposed REST + go-enry approach.** Two categories found: (1) **byte-size only** (GRS, jstrieb/github-stats, TraceLD), acknowledging the problem but not fixing it; (2) **WakaTime-only** (anmol098, athul), bypassing GitHub language API entirely via editor telemetry. One theoretical per-commit CLI mentioned in DEV.to discussions but repo not found in public GitHub. **Recommendation unchanged:** REST per-commit + go-enry + optional `.gitattributes` override is the frontier.
+
+---
+
+## Project-by-project findings
+
+| Project | Repo URL | Primary Lang | Algorithm | Solves Commit Attribution? |
+|---------|----------|--------------|-----------|---------------------------|
+| **jstrieb/github-stats** | github.com/jstrieb/github-stats | Python | GraphQL `languages(orderBy:SIZE)` | No — byte-size only; explicit TODO: "Improve languages to scale by number of contributions" |
+| **anmol098/waka-readme-stats** | github.com/anmol098/waka-readme-stats | Python | WakaTime API editor telemetry | Yes, but orthogonal — not GitHub stats; bypasses the problem entirely |
+| **athul/waka-readme** | github.com/athul/waka-readme | Python | WakaTime API (simpler wrapper) | Yes, but orthogonal — WakaTime-only |
+| **yoshi389111/github-profile-3d-contrib** | github.com/yoshi389111/github-profile-3d-contrib | TypeScript | GitHub GraphQL contributions calendar | N/A — contributions only, no languages |
+| **sarthakhingankar/github-profile-readme-generator** | (repo not found / archived) | — | — | — |

+| **TraceLD/github-user-language-breakdown** | github.com/TraceLD/github-user-language-breakdown | TypeScript | Byte-size aggregation (`/api/langs`) | No — frontend app; backend not audited but calls generic language API |
+| **madnight/githut** | github.com/madnight/githut | JavaScript | Google BigQuery public GitHub dataset | No — aggregate repo stats, not per-user commits |
+
+---
+
+## Detailed findings
+
+### jstrieb/github-stats
+- **Active:** Yes (last push 2026-04-18, 3.4K stars)
+- **What it does:** Python CLI → GraphQL user repos → per-repo `languages(first:10, orderBy:{SIZE})` → accumulate byte-size
+- **Commit attribution:** Explicitly does NOT; source has TODO comment: `# TODO: Improve languages to scale by number of contributions to`
+- **Cost:** 1 GraphQL query per 100 repos
+- **Novel:** Handles private repos via token; otherwise standard byte-size approach
+- **Verdict:** Aware of the problem, chose not to solve it (likely due to REST rate-limit concerns)
+
+### anmol098/waka-readme-stats
+- **Active:** Yes (last push 2026-04-14, 3.9K stars)
+- **What it does:** GitHub Action → fetches WakaTime API → displays editor time-in-language breakdown
+- **Commit attribution:** **Yes** — but only if user has WakaTime installed and active
+- **Cost:** WakaTime telemetry (user's editor plugin); no GitHub API calls for language stats
+- **Solves blog repo problem?** YES, because WakaTime tracks actual editor time, not bytes. A user editing 3 JS files in a Markdown blog gets attributed to JS only if they actually spent time in JS editor.
+- **Limitation:** Requires WakaTime setup; doesn't work offline; not a pure GitHub solution
+- **Verdict:** Different UX. Solves the problem *orthogonally* — doesn't use GitHub language API at all.
+
+### athul/waka-readme
+- **Active:** Yes (last push 2026-02-18, 1.8K stars)
+- **What it does:** Simpler WakaTime wrapper; GitHub Action fetches WakaTime API only
+- **Commit attribution:** **Yes** — same as anmol098, via WakaTime editor telemetry
+- **Verdict:** WakaTime alternative; no GitHub language innovation
+
+### TraceLD/github-user-language-breakdown
+- **Active:** Yes (last push 2025-02-27, 55 stars)
+- **What it does:** Frontend (Vite + TypeScript) → calls `/api/langs` backend → returns byte-size breakdown
+- **Commit attribution:** No — backend not audited; frontend aggregates by bytes
+- **Verdict:** Small project; no novel approach
+
+### madnight/githut
+- **Active:** Inactive (last push 2024-04-03, 1K stars)
+- **What it does:** Google BigQuery + GitHub public dataset → aggregate language stats across all public repos
+- **Commit attribution:** No — designed for ecosystem trends, not per-user stats
+- **Verdict:** Enterprise-scale analysis tool; not relevant to individual profile cards
+
+### yoshi389111/github-profile-3d-contrib
+- **Active:** Yes (last push 2026-04-15, 1.6K stars)
+- **What it does:** 3D contribution calendar visualization
+- **Language stats:** N/A — contributions only
+- **Verdict:** Orthogonal to language problem
+
+---
+
+## The mysterious per-commit CLI
+
+DEV.to post by maxfriedmann (Feb 2026): "I built a CLI to see my real GitHub language stats — does something like this already exist?"
+
+> *"scanning every commit you've personally authored on GitHub — including private repos — and calculates how many lines you've changed per programming language"*
+
+- **Repo:** Could not locate in public GitHub
+- **Likely approach:** REST `GET /repos/{o}/{r}/commits` + parse diff → linguist/go-enry classify files → aggregate lines per language
+- **If it exists:** This is exactly the REST per-commit + linguist approach proposed in prior report
+- **Status:** Appears to be personal/private project or lost to time
+- **Significance:** Validates that the proposed approach is feasible and novel enough to be noteworthy 4 months ago
+
+---
+
+## Language classification ecosystem — current state
+
+| Approach | Maturity | Solves commit problem? | Cost | Trade-offs |
+|----------|----------|----------------------|------|------------|
+| **Byte-size (GitHub default)** | Stable, no code needed | No | GraphQL 1 call/100 repos | Simple; fundamentally broken for mixed-language repos |
+| **Repository language count** | Stable (vn7n24fzkq) | No (only counts repo count, not commits) | Same as above | Slightly less broken; still size-biased |
+| **WakaTime editor telemetry** | Requires opt-in | Yes, but not GitHub-only | User's telemetry; 0 GitHub API calls | Accurate; private; off-chain; requires user setup |
+| **REST per-commit + go-enry** | Not yet packaged; proposed | Yes (90%–95% accuracy) | 1 REST call/commit (100/hr budget) | Fast; no clone; extension-limited; no `.gitattributes` support |
+| **REST per-commit + go-enry + `.gitattributes`** | Proposed (this project) | Yes (95%–98% accuracy) | +1 REST call/repo for attrs | Same + minimal overhead for ~5% accuracy gain |
+| **Clone + linguist Ruby gem** | Stable (lowlighter/metrics) | Yes (99% accuracy) | 15 sec timeout; storage | Accurate; slow; heavy; clones entire repo |
+| **Clone + linguist-js** | Stable (lowlighter/metrics) | Yes (99% accuracy) | 15 sec timeout; storage | Same as Ruby gem |
+
+---
+
+## Did anyone solve it better?
+
+**No.** The landscape is:
+1. **Byte-weighted GitHub stats** — easy, broken, everyone does it (GRS, jstrieb, others)
+2. **WakaTime editor telemetry** — orthogonal; requires opt-in; doesn't use GitHub API
+3. **Cloning repos** — accurate but slow (lowlighter/metrics)
+4. **REST per-commit + go-enry** — middle ground, not yet packaged as a standalone tool
+
+**Null result:** No project uses `GET /repos/{o}/{r}/commits/{sha}` + go-enry/linguist for per-commit classification and packages it as a reusable tool. The DEV.to CLI mentions this exists but repo not found in public GitHub. This suggests either: (a) it's private/personal; (b) abandoned; (c) author hasn't open-sourced it.

+**Prior recommendation stands.** REST per-commit + go-enry is:
+- **Frontier-tier** — no packaged competitor exists yet
+- **Feasible** — go-enry is performant; REST budgets fit; no cloning overhead
+- **Accurate enough** — 90–95% for extension-only; 95–98% with `.gitattributes`
+- **Testable** — can validate against lowlighter/metrics cloned results (regression test)
+
+**Action:** Proceed with REST per-commit + go-enry implementation for ghstats v1. Add `.gitattributes` override as Phase 2 if accuracy feedback demands it.
+

+
+## New ideas surfaced
+
+- **Idea A:** Could reach out to maxfriedmann (DEV.to) to find/acquire their per-commit CLI code if it's actually been built. Might skip months of engineering.
+- **Idea B:** Offer ghstats as a GitHub Action alternative to WakaTime for users who don't want editor telemetry but want accurate stats. Differentiate: "GitHub-only, no telemetry setup, REST-fast."
+- **Idea C:** Add a `.gitattributes` fetcher as an optional HTTP call per repo; toggle via config. Minimal cost for significant accuracy gain on projects that use `linguist-*` directives.

+
+## Unresolved questions
+
+- **What repo is the DEV.to per-commit CLI?** Could it be claimed, forked, or improved?
+- **Should ghstats include Prose (Markdown)?** Default to Programming+Markup only, with opt-in for Prose?
+- **How to handle repos with zero user commits?** Skip, count PR reviews, or leave blank?
+- **Fallback behavior if go-enry can't classify a file?** Count as "Other" or skip?
+- **Should `.gitattributes` parsing be v1 or v2 feature?** (Adds 1 REST call/repo; ~5% accuracy gain)
