# GPXplore launch snapshot: counting details and sources

Snapshot captured October 1, 2026. Figures accompany Brian Erickson’s account of building and releasing GPXplore.

## Headline statistics

| Repo | Main-history commits | GitHub merged PRs | Active days | Product source lines | Test source lines |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| Web | 976 | 130 | 51 | 61,533 | 25,620 |
| Pipeline | 114 | 19 | 22 | 18,410 | 6,500 |
| iOS | 731 | 52 | 65 | 68,951 | 46,797 |
| Combined | **1,821** | **201** | **100 unique dates** | **148,894** | **78,917** |

Earliest non-template product commits: **May 20, 2026**. Native iOS first commit: **June 8, 2026**. Pipeline first commit: **July 1, 2026**. App Store live: **October 1, 2026**, confirmed by the owner.

May 20 to October 1: **134 elapsed days**, or 135 calendar dates inclusive. The initial idea may predate the first recorded commit. We have not claimed its exact conception date.

## Definitions and scope

- Commits: all commits reachable from each repository's remote `main` at the captured SHA, including merge commits. Excludes the one inherited Lovable template commit, dated January 1, 2025. Commit totals include docs, data and configuration work, not just code changes.
- The recently pushed marketing launch/badge commit on `feature/marketing-app-store-launch` is not in web main and is excluded. Unmerged branches and uncommitted local edits are excluded in every repo.
- PRs: GitHub PR records with a non-null `merged_at`, across each repository. These are counts, not the last PR number. Two merged web PRs (#153/#154) have merge SHAs absent from captured main; the main-reachable merged PR count is 128 for web / 199 combined. The graphics consistently use the repository-wide GitHub merged count of 130 / 201.
- Active days: distinct commit **author dates**, converted to **America/Denver**, from the included main histories. Combined active days are the union of dates, not 51 + 22 + 65. Author dates may differ from merge dates and do not prove hours worked on a date.
- Product/test lines: physical tracked text lines, including comments and blanks. Tests are separate. Rounded graphic figures are 149k product and 79k tests. Combined physical lines: 227,811.
- iOS: Swift under `gpxplore/` (product); `gpxploreTests/` and `gpxploreUITests/` (tests).
- Web: maintained TS/TSX/JS/MJS/CSS/HTML under app/package `src` trees, plus the marketing workspace. `.d.ts` files excluded. Test paths/filenames (`test`, `tests`, `__tests__`, `.test.`, `.spec.`) classified separately. Root tooling and tests outside this source-path policy are excluded.
- Pipeline: Python/shell/JS/MJS/TS/CSS/HTML under `pipeline/`, `deploy/`, `scripts/`, `tests/`. Prototypes excluded.
- Data snapshots, GPX source data, vendored code, node modules, binary assets, generated build output, documentation and configuration files are excluded from line totals. These are selected maintained source counts, not a claim to count every executable file in the repositories.

The figures describe project history and source size. They do not measure productivity, quality, hours, cost, agent-written percentage or human-vs-agent contribution.

## Milestone evidence

- **May 20 / Lovable**: earliest non-template commits attributed to `gpt-engineer-app[bot]`; subjects include GPX segment trimming, elevation profile, map-hover synchronization and layer switching. [GPX segment trimmer commit](https://github.com/djbriane/gpx-route-planner/commit/224d9ac). Lovable attribution is also supported by the retained build dependency and earlier docs.
- **May 23 / repeatable work**: [README, contributing guide and agent workflow docs](https://github.com/djbriane/gpx-route-planner/commit/debba3c22a22407fa726849169f233e63e56b1d8).
- **June 8 / iOS begins**: [initial Xcode scaffold](https://github.com/djbriane/gpxplore-ios/commit/6f94de5).
- **June 16 / shared trip contract in iOS**: [gpxtrip mapper](https://github.com/djbriane/gpxplore-ios/commit/8e44702a9c9cbec816d035f3547d66558f96f7bd). Web transfer support began June 12; the graphic's June 16 milestone marks the native consumer, not invention of the file format.
- **July 1 / pipeline begins**: [first campground ingestion pipeline](https://github.com/djbriane/gpxplore-pipeline/commit/ec39b33); downstream publishing followed the same day.
- **September 23 / TestFlight preparation**: [release preparation commit](https://github.com/djbriane/gpxplore-ios/commit/8013e884d6bf97c65a3d9ba8599f9cfd3d063586). This is preparation, not an asserted first tester installation date.
- **October 1 / launch**: owner confirmed approval and live listing; [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gpxplore-backcountry-planner/id6814602855), [v1.0 release](https://github.com/djbriane/gpxplore-ios/releases/tag/v1.0).

## Repo map evidence

Pipeline README's downstream-publishing section and `specs/refs/system-architecture--ref.md` describe the build-time data publication and separate runtime enrichment path. Web owns the Cloudflare API gateway; pipeline owns normalization, snapshots, route artifacts and runtime/build tooling; iOS owns the native app. The shared `.gpxtrip` contract is documented in both client repos. The map intentionally abstracts deployment hosts and secrets.

The workflow graphic summarizes repository conventions: specs/ADRs/agent instructions, implementation, verification, PR review, release. It does not establish that every action was automated, which agent authored each change, or how often the human intervened.
