Research direction

Start by inspecting the README “Most Stars” table and tracing the auto-update script and data feed mentioned in the issue. Compare the Python row with current GitHub statistics, then rerun or verify the update process so the table contains fresh counts matching the stated update time.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Description: In the “Most Stars” section of the README, the table lists ranking data with “Last Automatic Update Time: 2025‑11‑06T04:07:07Z”. However the row for one of the languages (e.g., Python) shows stale values that appear not to have updated counts in the last 2 months.

Steps to reproduce:

Open the README of the repository.

Scroll to the “Most Stars” table.

Compare the star/fork counts of the “Python” entry with current GitHub stats for that language.

Expected behaviour: The table should show the most recent commit/tally values as of the update time (2025‑11‑06).

Actual behaviour: The table appears to show older values which don’t correspond to the current GitHub language rankings.

Suggested fix: Consider re‑running the auto‑update script and verifying the data feed to ensure fresh statistics are reflected.
