Argusic daily report, 27 October 2026

On 27 October 2026 (UTC) an AI agent tried to install and run 62 open-source projects on clean machines, with nobody helping: 73 attempts in all, 5 of them cut short by our own tooling and not counted.

Verdicts as they stood at the end of that day. A project tested again since may have moved; its own page always shows the current verdict. Written 2026-10-28.
