Comment

I tried unstarring a repository, but it didn't get through, so I refreshed and tried again, until at one point I refreshed and saw that the repo now has -1 stars.

When I look at who has starred the repo it still shows 1 person. Surely Codeberg, or maybe even Forgejo itself, has automations that automatically fix the count, right...?

Still felt like I should mention it though.

They should either go through a conversion into an async stat (like forgejo/forgejo#9916) if they're used in sorting and need to remain in a database table, or into a cached stat (like forgejo/forgejo#9927) otherwise.

I'm juggling quite a few projects at the moment and don't have space to do more work like this in the short-term, but I'll keep it on my radar for when some of those other efforts are complete.

I don't think there's much value in digging through logs to try to find a root cause. These fields weren't factors in my deadlock work because it was focused on making sure everything in the path of a PR merge was safe. The `num_stars` stat on the user and repo are among many fields that weren't addressed.
