Vultisignal — Current Program Status Report

What It IS

Vultisignal is a production-ready, automated GitHub monitoring system for the Vultisig ecosystem that:

Core Functionality

• Monitors 43 Vultisig repositories across the entire GitHub organization
• Collects comprehensive data including issues, PRs, commits, releases, and repository metadata
• Uses multithreaded collection (8 concurrent workers) for fast data gathering
• Implements intelligent caching to avoid redundant API calls and preserve GitHub rate limits
• Stores native GitHub JSON as the single source of truth (exports/YYYY-MM-DD.json)
• Generates markdown summaries with cross-platform bug detection, high-priority issue tracking, and development insights
• Creates HTML dashboards with real-time metrics and clickable repository links
• Tracks historical metrics to show trends over time

Smart Features

• Cross-platform bug detection: Identifies similar issues across iOS/Android/Windows/Web platforms
• High-priority issue tracking: Uses explicit "High Priority" GitHub labels (no heuristics)
• Stale item monitoring: Flags issues/PRs open longer than 7 days
• Development hotspots: Shows most active repositories and contributors
• API optimization: Only fetches repositories that have actually changed since last collection

Architecture

GitHub API (43 repos) → Daily JSON Snapshot → Processing → Markdown + HTML Reports
                            ↓
                   exports/YYYY-MM-DD.json
                            ↓
        ┌─ exports/summaries/YYYY-MM-DD-summary.md (detailed analysis)
        ├─ docs/index.html (interactive dashboard)
        └─ exports/metrics_history.json (time-series data)

What It Does NOT Do

• No historical backfill - GitHub API only provides current state, so historical reconstruction is impossible
• No Discord monitoring - Only GitHub data (Discord integration planned for future)
• No predictive analytics - Shows current state and trends, doesn't forecast
• No automated issue management - Monitors and reports, doesn't modify GitHub data
• No real-time alerts - Daily batch processing only
• No code quality analysis - Focuses on project activity and issue management

What It WILL Do Daily (Automated at 00:01 GMT)

Daily Workflow (GitHub Actions)

1. 00:01 GMT: GitHub Actions triggers
2. Data Collection:
3. Check if today's data already exists (API safety)
4. If not, collect from all 43 repositories using multithreaded approach
5. Save complete snapshot as exports/YYYY-MM-DD.json
6. Processing:
7. Generate comprehensive markdown summary with analysis
8. Create HTML dashboard with interactive metrics
9. Update historical metrics tracking
10. Output:
11. Commit all generated files back to repository
12. Upload summary as downloadable artifact

Daily Reports Include

• Summary metrics: Total issues/PRs/bugs/high-priority items with day-over-day changes
• Cross-platform bugs: Issues affecting multiple platforms (up to 12+ bugs detected)
• High-priority issues: Issues with explicit "High Priority" GitHub labels (currently 1 active)
• Development activity: Most active repositories and top contributors
• Latest releases: Recent releases from top repositories
• Active PRs: All open pull requests across the organization
• Stale items: Issues/PRs that need attention (open >7 days)

Current Real Data (July 25, 2025)

• 99 open issues across 7 repositories with open issues
• 8 active PRs across the organization
• 71 open bugs (detected via labels and keywords)
• 1 high-priority issue with explicit "High Priority" label
• 260 recent commits in the last 7 days
• 475 total events tracked (issues + PRs + commits)

Most Active Repositories

1. vultisig-windows: 100 commits, 27 issues
2. vultisig-ios: 54 commits, 39 issues
3. vultisig-android: 38 commits, 26 issues

Key Features

• API-safe collection: Skips existing files to avoid waste
• Platform-native data: Stores GitHub JSON directly, no format conversion
• Future-ready: Architecture supports Discord JSON integration later
• Zero-maintenance: Fully automated with error handling and logging

Production Readiness

Ready for Production

• Clean, focused codebase (only 13 essential files)
• Comprehensive testing completed
• Real data validation confirmed
• GitHub Actions configured and tested
• Documentation complete
• No dependencies on legacy code or unused features

Daily Value Delivered

• Development team visibility: See what's happening across all 43 repos
• Priority issue tracking: Never miss high-priority bugs
• Cross-platform coordination: Spot issues affecting multiple platforms
• Activity insights: Understand development patterns and contributor activity
• Historical trends: Track progress over time with metrics history

Bottom line: Vultisignal provides a comprehensive, automated "mission control" view of the entire Vultisig development ecosystem, delivered fresh every day at 00:01 GMT with zero manual intervention required.
