erickochen/purple is sitting at #909 on the trending leaderboard with a pulse of 13/100 with no cross-source channels firing yet — GitHub-stars-only signal so far.

The 7-day star delta is +8 (+2.0%) against a base of 413, so the headline number is category momentum more than a personal breakout. What's actually moving is the Rust mcp space.

Watch-outs: no tagged release on record (treat as pre-stable).
