A GitHub search for repos created after 2026-09-16 with 90+ stars returns a near-monoculture: fast-jev-compaction (2,210 stars), thruwire/foreman (255), TianyuCodings/NanoJev (193), AbdelStark/awesome-typesafe (155), kitze/skillbox (135), ekzhang/openjev-sglang (108), realZachi/pg-jev (105), dabit3/jev-experiments (103) and NiazMorshed2007/jev-review (98), all created 2026-09-17. The headline repo replaces Claude Code's compaction entirely: rather than summarizing old turns, it sends the conversation to Jev with tool results stubbed as 'ok, 4213 chars (omitted)', asks two scoring questions per non-pinned tool call, then keeps, truncates or deletes each one, never rewriting kept messages. Its stated rationale is that summaries lose the exact file path, error string, constraint or command, which is the specific failure mode most people hit after an auto-compact.
