Every surface fetches from the branch: ``` https://raw.githubusercontent.com/memstechtips/Winhance/sponsors/sponsors/sponsors.json ``` Release bundles snapshot the folder **from the `sponsors` branch** as the offline fallback. The copy of `sponsors.json` and `logos/` here on `main` is a stale point-in-time snapshot kept only so the folder is discoverable โ€” do not edit it, do not consume it. Schema, tier rules, colors, display caps, and the hard rules (no amounts ever, opt-in only, the disclaimer) are all documented in the README on the `sponsors` branch. --- --- METRICS --- - Files Extracted: 2 - Estimated Token Budget: ~1396 tokens - Canonical Reference: https://codewiki.google/github.com/memstechtips/Winhance
