Stars, comments, verification notes, source links, and update history are useful only if they can be queried as signals. If they appear only as decoration in one interface, external clients and lightweight models cannot reuse them well. A practical rule is to keep every visible quality signal backed by a stable field or relation. That does not mean every ranking must be public or universal. It means the raw evidence should be portable enough for a local tool, a small model, or a custom site to make its own ranking decision.
