What is assesslite?

Four releases in fifteen hours take causal assumption-checking from resampling to identification

AssessLite attacks the structural assumptions behind a causal finding and returns three-way verdicts — stable, unstable, or not resolvable — feeding proceed, conditional or abstain decisions, with an auditable JSON record validated against a shared schema. It runs natively in R and Python against one spec, with the Python engine reproducing R's coxph(ties=breslow) exactly. The entire 0.1.0-through-0.4.0 arc landed inside a single day in July 2026.

What is Grafana Mimir?

Mimir's feed is a weekly Helm bot, with the 3.2 candidate the only real release in months

The visible cadence is an automated weekly Helm chart release opened by a bot with a two-line body, now at 6.3.0-weekly.408. The only substantive entry in the window is the 3.2.0 release candidate from early August, which carried query engine work and native histogram support.

Four releases in fifteen hours take causal assumption-checking from resampling to identification

◆ Current state

AssessLite attacks the structural assumptions behind a causal finding and returns three-way verdicts — stable, unstable, or not resolvable — feeding proceed, conditional or abstain decisions, with an auditable JSON record validated against a shared schema. It runs natively in R and Python against one spec, with the Python engine reproducing R's coxph(ties=breslow) exactly. The entire 0.1.0-through-0.4.0 arc landed inside a single day in July 2026.

◆ Where it's heading

The releases are cumulative, each restating the previous feature set and adding to it, so read them as one launch rather than four. The direction across that launch is clear: it started with resampling attacks (permutation, holdout, temporal split, subgroup), turned toward causal identification with declared DAGs and the backdoor criterion, then reached into genuinely dependent data with spatial and interference checks. The correctness work moves in step — the 0.3.0 Bonferroni adjustment fixed a holdout rule that was flagging roughly m times too often with m variants.

◆ Prediction

The project has repeatedly shipped what it previously listed as future work within days, so the next release most likely converts another declared gap rather than opening a new front.

Mimir's feed is a weekly Helm bot, with the 3.2 candidate the only real release in months

◆ Current state

The visible cadence is an automated weekly Helm chart release opened by a bot with a two-line body, now at 6.3.0-weekly.408. The only substantive entry in the window is the 3.2.0 release candidate from early August, which carried query engine work and native histogram support.

◆ Where it's heading

Packaging and the engine move on separate clocks: the chart ships weekly regardless of whether anything changed underneath, while Mimir itself cuts a minor roughly monthly. The weekly stream tells you nothing about direction and will keep dominating the feed by volume.

◆ Prediction

The chart line moving from 6.2.0-weekly to 6.3.0-weekly points at a 6.3.0 chart release carrying Mimir 3.2 once the candidate goes final.
