Rules
From crates.io release history (non-yanked versions), fetched Oct 24, 2026: last release within 6 months = actively maintained; within 18 months = slow cadence; older with 1,000+ dependents = quiet and widely relied on; otherwise quiet. We do not read commits or issues: a crate can be finished and safe without new releases, and active on GitHub without publishing. Run cargo audit for security advisories.
