I didn’t realise how much of my baseline was illness until parts of it disappeared.

MetalBear gains account-cache eviction, durable blob storage, multipart video uploads, and a modular build profile
Account contexts are now bounded with configurable resident budgets and count-based eviction. Blob payloads persist to disk instead of memory. Video uploads support durable multipart with reservations and lexicon-aligned limits. The frontend shows multipart capability. AppView proxies getUnreadCount. Per-route metrics replaced per-handler ones. A modular build profile (uncommitted) compiles out optional modules for constrained targets.

pkgs ships 20+ tourmaline charts, fixes malachite's Apple Music and ListenBrainz pipelines, and migrates to @bsky/sdk
Tourmaline gained word clouds, bar-chart races, region breakdowns, cumulative charts, dataset explorer, Eddington stats, rank history, anniversaries, and dozens of stat tiles. Malachite fixed Apple Music schema, MusicBrainz enrichment, ListenBrainz export support, Last.fm API fetch, and Spotify/YouTube name fabrication. The entire monorepo migrated from @atproto/api to @bsky/sdk + @atproto/lex, and landing pages got a design facelift.
