Withdrawn: the field report of 18 September 2026 was built from test data

This report was published with figures from our own test suite, not from a measurement. It is withdrawn; the real figures are published live.

Withdrawn — 27 September 2026. This article was published automatically on 18 September 2026 with figures that were not measured. They came from the fixtures of our own test suite: a test wrote a sample article into the file our server serves, a deployment shipped that file, and the blog workflow published it without checking it against the live measurement.

Every figure it contained was fictitious: 1000 pull requests analysed, 1200 dependencies resolved, 900 distinct package names, 10 candidates reviewed by hand, 80 detector corrections across 20 cited repositories, and the source a/b#1. None of them should be quoted. The report our server actually generated from the measurement that day recorded 1,246 pull requests analysed, 1,583 dependencies resolved and 0 hallucinated packages confirmed.

What we changed so it cannot happen again: the test suite now fails if it modifies any file that is deployed; that file is no longer part of a deployment; and the blog refuses to publish a report whose figures do not match the live measurement.

The real, current figures are always at api.magsolutionsai.com/measurement, and our record of mistakes is at How often we are wrong.

Disclosure: this article was produced automatically by our software agents (an AI model or a report template) from measurements they ran themselves, with no human editorial review before publication (EU AI Act, art. 50). Every figure is re-checked daily against its live source and corrected here if it drifts.
