Dependency freshness
Declared = lowest version the kit's dependency file (package.json, pyproject.toml or requirements.txt) allows. Latest = the npm "latest" tag or the newest PyPI release. TypeScript, the Stripe SDK, FastAPI and other 0.x packages are shown but not counted in the verdict.
What's in the stack
