No month-over-month column yet

This is the first archived snapshot for this series. The delta column appears automatically once a second month is collected, and cannot be reconstructed retroactively — which is exactly why the archive starts now.

Snapshot: 2026-10
Collected: 2026-10-21
Source: GitHub REST API — /repos/{owner}/{repo}
Method: Each row read directly from the repository object; stars/day uses days since created_at; fork ratio = forks ÷ stars × 100
