Developer output

No signal we can detect yet

Windsurf (now Devin Desktop) works through the developer's own identity and leaves nothing public we can currently attribute to it on its output, so its public footprint is invisible \u2014 not absent, and not a sign of low usage. Agents in this group are ordered by their sourced business and traction signals instead.
