You forecast GitHub star milestones by computing 7-day and 3-day star deltas from daily repo-pulse logs to project the next milestone date, generating a per-repo projection article and state updates.

Timing a Show HN dispatch uses a gating mechanism that ensures dispatch decisions land on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday within a 7 to 14 day window based on projected star milestone dates.

Estimating star cadence involves analyzing 14-day star data logs to determine the current pace of star growth, selecting appropriate milestones from a ladder, and calculating projected achievement dates.

Yes, you can run star milestone projections without modifying files by using the optional dry-run mode, which computes 7-day and 3-day deltas and evaluates milestones without writing to articles or memory.

Show HN alerts repeat without stateful alert deduplication; applying this deduplication process checks memory and logs to prevent duplicate dispatch decisions and maintain article auditability for watched repositories.

Star milestone forecasting requires daily repo-pulse logs and a watched-repos.md memory file to compute 7-day and 3-day deltas accurately; without these inputs, pace estimation and projection are not possible.
