GitHub stars grew 1.3% WoW to 68.4K, but signup-to-first-render conversion fell to 41% from 47% — the third straight week that step alone has dropped.
Every other channel held steady or improved this week. Safari desktop alone jumped from 8.1s to 14.4s p95, and it's driving almost two-thirds of the conversion drop. That forces a call: roll back the od-reframe confirm step, or ship a Safari-specific render path before Friday's release cut.
Decision needed: roll back or patch by Thu 18:00Bypasses the timeout path causing the 14.4s p95 without touching the other 39% of the drop.
It was added for clarity, not speed — re-run the A/B once the Safari fix lands.
No point buying more traffic into a funnel step that's currently losing 6pp of it.
This anomaly stayed hidden inside a blended average for two weeks — that can't repeat.
The data says one thing: fix the render path before we spend another dollar acquiring users into a slower funnel. Engineering owns Thursday's patch, Growth holds spend flat until conversion recovers, and Data splits Safari out so this doesn't hide again.
