Readable headline: DART shows active maintenance and broad public reach: 1.1M gross conda artifact downloads; 261K dartpy downloads; 397 Google Scholar citations; a public Gazebo dependency path.

Boundary: these are usage and activity signals, not a de-duplicated count of human users.

Source boundaries

GitHub traffic is collected only when the scheduled workflow has a token that can read repository traffic. Package and citation counts come from public APIs and can drift between refreshes. Google Scholar is checked from a title search and may fall back to the dated manual value in data.json if automated extraction is unavailable. Downstream rows are public evidence examples, not a complete user registry.
