⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Undisclosed conflict of interest: PR author appears to be a maintainer of the submitted project.

The PR author's GitHub username, SebConejo, is recorded as having announced official project updates for mnfst/manifest, meaning this PR is self-promotional. Awesome-list contributions from project authors or maintainers are generally expected to include explicit COI disclosure (e.g., "(I am the author)") and are subject to stricter scrutiny per standard awesome-list norms.
