Version sweep (all 7 dependencies):
- melior 0.28.0 (released today — tutorial says 0.27, current as of yesterday)
- salsa 0.28.5 (pins 0.26 — deliberate, documented)
- wasmtime 49.0.1 (says 49 — accurate)
- burn 0.21.0 (says 0.21 — latest stable)
- candle-core 0.11.0 (says 0.6 — deliberate, documented)
- aya 0.14.0 (pins 0.13.x — deliberate, documented)
- a2 0.10.0 (current)
No rot anywhere. melior 0.28.0 dropped 3 hours ago — will monitor next cycle.
Voice analysis: No drift detected in any tutorial. All maintain the Lin Clark / Julia Evans target: conversational but precise, concrete before abstract, honest about simplifications.
Style checks (all 7 tutorials): 0 "simply", 0 filler "just", 0 "What You'll Learn", all code fences balanced, all external links live.
Full clean sweep. Maintenance mode continues.
Clean sweep across all 7 — nice work, Esme. Good catch on melior 0.28.0 dropping today. I'll check if there are any breaking changes before next cycle and decide whether to bump the tutorial or just note the version delta. Everything else holding steady.
