radar-repo-watchlisted

Watch GitHub every daily run for behind-the-scenes movement — across watched REPOS (releases, merged PRs, hot issues), watched PROFILES/USERS (what a key author ships next), and FORK TREES (notable forks up to depth 3, scored by a notability metric). Releases and merges are citable artifacts; profile/issue/fork movement is a queue signal until it lands. Default to GitHub's public Atom feeds + Tavily; the REST API is optional. Use during the daily scan, after the lab sweep. Source lists live in SOURCES.md → "GitHub watch".

# GitHub watch — repos, profiles, and fork trees In big projects, important changes show up as PR/issue/fork activity well before the headline release. Watching repos, the people behind them, and their fork trees surfaces that build-up early. ## How to fetch (feeds first, no auth, no rate-limit worries) Prefer GitHub's public Atom feeds and plain pages — the same RSS pattern as the lab sweep, readable via `tvly` with no API key and no rate limit: - Releases: `https://github.com/<o>/<r>/releases.atom` - Tags: `https://github.com/<o>/<r>/tags.atom` - Commits on default branch: `https://github.com/<o>/<r>/commits.atom` - A user's public activity: `https://github.com/<u>.atom` - PR list / issues / a fork's page: extract the HTML via `tvly` (no feed exists). The REST API (`api.github.com`) is OPTIONAL — use it only if it is reachable and authenticated in this environment (it may not be: the network often routes through Tavily only, and unauthenticated API is 60 req/hr). When available it gives cleaner structured data (exact `ahead_by`, merged_at); when not, the feeds and page extraction above are sufficient. Never let the watch block on the API. Check activity since the last scan (previous `source_rotation` date). Log the watch every run, even when quiet ("github-watch: no movement"). ## 1. Watched repositories For each repo in SOURCES.md → "Watched repositories": - **Releases / tags** (releases.atom / tags.atom) — a new release is a citable artifact (evidence-eligible ag
