Package abandonment risk API

Joins the npm registry (latest publish date, deprecation flag) with the linked GitHub repo (last push, open issues, archived flag, stars) and derives a single maintenance verdict — maintained / at-risk / abandoned — with a 0-100 score and the contributing signals. The value-add is the multi-source join + scoring in one call. Answers 'is this npm package still maintained', 'is this dependency abandoned', 'how long since this package was updated', 'is this library deprecated'.
