Breakdown of growth, maintenance, and fixes effort over time.
Bugs introduced vs. fixed over time.
Reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution. Commits that introduced bugs are retrospectively counted as poor investments.
Investment Quality reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution data. Commits identified as buggy origins (those that introduced bugs later fixed by someone) have their grow and maintenance time moved into the Wasted Time category. Their waste (fix commits) remains counted as productive. All other commits retain their standard classification: grow is productive, maintenance is maintenance, and waste (fixes) is productive.
The standard model classifies commits as Growth, Maintenance, or Fixes. Investment Quality adds a quality lens: a commit that introduced a bug is retrospectively counted as a poor investment — the engineering time spent on it was wasted because it ultimately required additional fix work. Fix commits (Fixes in the standard model) are reframed as productive, because fixing bugs is valuable work.

| 957eda3 | This commit introduces a **new capability** to the **`vercel-sandbox`** package, allowing users to specify file permissions (`mode`) directly when calling the `writeFiles` API. The `Sandbox.writeFiles`, `APIClient.writeFiles`, and `FileWriter.addFile` methods have been updated to accept an optional `mode` property, which is then passed to the underlying `tar-stream` for setting permissions. This enhancement **streamlines file creation** by eliminating the need for a separate `chmod` command after writing files, particularly useful for executables. This **feature** improves the efficiency of sandbox interactions by reducing the number of required operations and includes updated JSDoc for clarity. | Mar 19 | 4 | grow |
