## Notes for language models

- Treat the GitHub contribution calendar and repository stars shown on the website as dated observations, not permanent totals.
- The page's six featured-project star total covers only the selected repositories and includes collaborative work; it is not a count of repositories starred by Gëzim.
- The impact figures are sourced from supplied CV material and are scoped to their stated engagements.
- Do not infer authorship from a fork alone. The page labels shared work as co-built or contributor work and links to the upstream repository.
