Addressed Issues:

Fixes the incorrect repository ranking caused by double-counting stargazers through watchers_count.

Screenshots/Recordings:

Not applicable — this change affects repository ranking logic and does not introduce UI changes.

Additional Notes:

• Removed watchers_count from the repository scoring formula because it duplicates the stargazer count in GitHub's repository API.
• Added regression tests to verify that watchers_count does not affect repository scores.
• Preserved scoring based on stars, forks, and repository activity.
• Tests passed: 101 tests across 13 test files.
• Production build succeeds. Vite reports an existing large-chunk warning.
