Cause of death: the autopsy

Its forcing event was one-off and already over (Node 20 was removed from GitHub's runners on 2026-09-23), and GitHub's own Dependabot already bumps action versions.

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.
