Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Smart Contract Security Field Guide
True although I'm not talking about Ethereum smart contracts, I'm talking about Bitcoin ones which are very limited and not Turing complete. The lightning smart contract is like 20 lines and has been live since 2018, I feel the probability of the contract getting hacked is very low(famous last words!) https://github.com/lightning/bolts/blob/master/03-transactio...
- Is there any Bitcoin layer (eg. Bitcoin = L1, Lightning = L2, etc.) on which the satoshi (SAT) is divisible?

Does Lightning Network have its own hard forks?
LN is a protocol for sending signed txns around, keeping track of balances locally, and broadcasting channel open/close/justice txns. All the rules are outlined in the foundational BOLTs https://github.com/lightning/bolts/blob/master/00-introduction.md

What's LNURL and BOLT12?
BOLT12 offers an attempt to achieve some of the core functionality that LNURL provides without requiring the use of a web server. An offer encodes the data necessary to reach a node to request an invoice to make a payment, either a node_id, or a blinded path (the last few hops in an onion route, pre-computed and encrypted) to that node using onion messages. It also can encode a minimum amount for a payment, the currency being paid in, an expiry time and minimum/maximum quantity numbers (for purchasing multiple items).

Safe Lightning Transactions Without The Need for Watch Towers or Continuous Network Connectivity
In practice, I do not know if this is possible. I am quite unfamiliar with Bitcoin OpCode scripting and if the revocation tree of the channel state (which is just an unpublished Bitcoin contract) is expressive enough to allow inputting an arbitrary address to recieve the attacker's funds. I am attempting to use this documentation as a clue to whether or not, and how this might be possible: https://github.com/lightning/bolts/blob/master/03-transactions.md.

Chainalysis: The $8.6B Startup That Helps Governments Trace Crypto
No they can't, that's the whole point of onion routing. The next hop doesn't know if the packet started with you or if you're just another node in the payment path.

Negative fees
There is a discussion to add to the lightning BOLT specification for 'inbound fees' which essentially enables a 'rebate' for using a particular channel to route through your node.

Is sending BTC over the lightning network private and anonymous?
tbh i have a text file with definitions of many of these because I constantly confuse them, most of which were pulled from using search at https://github.com/lightning/bolts and similar

Generating and Working With ScriptPubKeys in Bitcoin Transactions
As mentioned previously, ScriptPubKeys are scripts that embody the locking conditions of bitcoins in a Bitcoin transaction. They are a crucial element of a Bitcoin transaction that specifies the requirements that must be met before an unspent transaction output (UTXO) is used. The ScriptPubKey, combined with the Amount, creates an output of a Bitcoin transaction. Like every other script, ScriptPubKeys are made up of operators and data. During the encoding of a transaction, both data and the operands are represented in hexadecimal format. You can find the hex representation for all operands used in Bitcoin Scripts here.
