Hence the new description:

That project you quoted is the one with that as its new description. Soon it'll just be [new thing] that happens to use the stars as social proof... in fact when I look again:
> The fastest repo in history to surpass 100K stars . Better Harness Tools that make real things done. Built in Rust using oh-my-codex.
They started a new project that justifies the same repo and scrapes a little credibility off of Claude Code. The intent is not an actual rewrite but to bolster what will be their own personal project trying to compete with OpenCode and co.
The grifter is already pasting references to WSJ articles about themselves in the Readme
