| Project | PR references | Contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Presago-Labs/presago | My #128 → Merged follow-up #139 | Fixed obsolete .gitignore rules and added CI regression checks; maintainer re-landed the change after resolving conflicts and credited my original PR. |
| Presago-Labs/presago | My #124 → Merged follow-up #140 | Aligned documented Stellar RPC endpoints with deployment configuration; maintainer re-landed the change and credited my original PR. |
| Presago-Labs/presago | My #116 → Merged follow-up #141 | Stopped tracking a generated pitch-video MP4; maintainer re-landed the change and credited my original PR. |
| morluto/rea | My #1133 → Merged follow-up #1138 | Fixed npm 12 release-version lookup. The maintainer cherry-picked my fix, preserved commit authorship, and merged it with further refinements. |
These credited upstream contributions are additional to the 27 directly merged PRs above. The three Presago follow-up PRs were merged by the maintainer, not directly from my original PRs.
