Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
memex
A persistent, compounding knowledge base for AI-assisted development — inspired by Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern
cogni-knowledge
Wiki-first research that compounds. Binds each run to a wiki knowledge base; future runs read what prior runs filed before hitting the web. v0.1.0 inverted pipeline (plan → curate → fetch → ingest → distill → compose → verify → finalize) with zero-network, citation-consistent claim verification — opt-in live-source resweep via `knowledge-refresh --resweep`. The shallow `knowledge-query` rung is read-only by default and can optionally file its answer back as an un-verified synthesis page via `--file-back`.
