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.

Repository identity changed: a recorded locator now resolves to a different GitHub id. Human review required.

Seed context: Adversarial case: docker/docker is a historical rename of moby/moby, not a fork. Both locators are expected to resolve to the same repository identity, which must block any fork/successor confirmation.

Evidence (1)

Verbatim excerpts from official sources, whitespace-normalized. Full payloads are hashed and retained by the pipeline; collection failures never fabricate evidence.

    Timeline

    “Event time” is an upstream timestamp when the source provides one; “first observed” is when this project saw it. They are deliberately separate columns.
