GraphCanon ranks them by typed relationship edges and constraint overlap from decision_facts - not marketing votes or raw star sort. ### How does GraphCanon rank RoBO alternatives? Direct alternative and successor edges from the knowledge graph come first, ordered by edge type and shared constraint facets (persona, runtime, hosting). Category neighbours fill the list only after curated edges. Stars are shown for context, not as the primary sort. ### When should I avoid RoBO? Last GitHub push was 2629 days ago (dormant maintenance, Apr 30, 2019). Validate activity before betting a new project on RoBO.
