Conclusion status

No confirmed conclusion exists for this pair. The evidence below is presented for transparency; a relationship conclusion requires a human review that has not happened, or a previous decision no longer matches the current evidence.

No directional succession or fork claim was found; the current evidence does not establish the researched relationship.

Seed context: Researched 2026-10-09; NOT APPROVED; pending the normal scheduled collection/evaluation and human review. The predecessor README identifies Fcitx 4 as maintenance-only, asks users not to open new issues or pull requests there, and points them to Fcitx 5. The Fcitx 5 repository describes itself as the next generation of fcitx. Distinct GitHub repository IDs: Fcitx 5 40201953, Fcitx 4 4401745. Fcitx 4 is archived; Fcitx 5 is not archived and was pushed 2026-10-09T14:18:07Z. This records project succession only; it makes no feature-compatibility claim. Sources: https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx/blob/master/README and https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx5/blob/master/README.md.
