Cause of death: the autopsy

The most-starred scientific agent-skill repo (46,805 stars) documented a dead central-bank host and three copies spread it, but free link checkers already do this, and one upstream fix cures all the copies.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
