 ## Maintenance Notes
 
-Since the upstream repository has been inactive since 2014 and is effectively abandoned, these modifications bring the code to modern Ruby 3.3+ standards while maintaining full compatibility. All changes are purely stylistic, performance-related, or code quality improvements - no logic or behavior has been altered.
+Since the upstream repository was archived in 2022 (with the last commit from 2014), this inlined copy is now maintained by CCNG. These modifications bring the code to modern Ruby 3.3+ standards while maintaining compatibility with CCNG's usage patterns. All changes are for modernization, performance, security, or removal of unused features - no logic changes to actively used functionality.
 
 The comprehensive test suite (13 spec files from upstream + 1 integration spec) ensures that all functionality continues to work correctly and provides confidence for future modifications.
