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
bugbash
Bugbash is a Claude Code plugin for hands-on bug hunting: you exercise the running app (API, UI, CLI) first, then use code only to narrow what you already observed. It’s built around a clear charter, find and reproduce issues with evidence, not to debug or ship fixes unless you ask. It includes quick / standard / deep intensity, evidence bars by severity, a flaky vs confirmed split, optional JSON for filing tickets, and subagents tuned for API vs UI testing.
