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.
Evidence suggests sass/dart-sass may succeed sass/node-sass (directional claim found). Human review required before publication. Supporting: a registry marks the predecessor package deprecated.
Seed context: Research question: is dart-sass the successor of node-sass? node-sass (LibSass bindings) is deprecated.
Evidence (2)
Verbatim excerpts from official sources, whitespace-normalized. Full payloads are hashed
and retained by the pipeline; collection failures never fabricate evidence.
Observed repository facts
As of the last verified collection. These are facts about the snapshots, not
activity verdicts — a low number is not a claim that a project is inactive.
Package registry facts
Versions & deployment facts
Official release and package declarations, compared independently of the relationship verdict.
These are not installation tests or a migration guarantee. Missing declarations mean unknown.

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.
Decision and dispute history
Review decisions are recorded privately with reasons that stay internal; this
public history shows what happened and when, not why.
To question this report, use the feedback form,
select “data error”, and include pair ID node-sass-sass.
