+
+## How URL Found
+
+The repository URL `https://github.com/typeoff/biryani` was added by Simon Cozens in commit `46a7c0576` ("Add more upstreams (a,b)", January 2024). The typeoff GitHub organization is associated with Dan Reynolds, one of the font's designers.
+
+## How Commit Determined
+
+The commit hash `6f7831d27b7458109cd88aceba28efeda057dadb` was added by our project in commit `9a14639f3` ("Add source blocks to 602 more METADATA.pb files"). This commit is the HEAD of the `master` branch in the upstream repo -- a merge commit titled "Merge pull request #5 from frankrolf/master" dated 2015-04-22.
+
+### Rationale for using HEAD
+
+Biryani was added to google/fonts in a pre-gftools-packager era (2015). There is no gftools-packager commit referencing a specific upstream commit. The upstream repo's full history is preserved (14 commits from 2014-10-05 to 2015-04-22), and the HEAD commit is the latest.
+
+### Timeline analysis
+
+- Upstream repo HEAD (`6f7831d`): 2015-04-22 -- fixes negative numbers in UFO files
+- Last font update in google/fonts (`0212fe7f5`, PR #808): 2017-05-08 -- "biryani: v1.004 added"
+
+The fonts in google/fonts are Version 1.004, but the upstream repo only goes up to Version 1.003 (`606c043`, 2015-03-08). This means the v1.004 binaries were likely compiled externally (by Marc Foley, PR #808 author) from sources that may have been modified beyond what's in the upstream repo, or the version was bumped during the compilation process.
+
+## Config YAML Status
+
+**Not found** -- No `config.yaml` or `config.yml` exists in the upstream repository.
+
+The upstream repo structure is:
+- `Source Files/Biryani 20150307.glyphs` -- Glyphs source file
+- `Source Files/Biryani-Bold.ufo/` -- UFO source (Bold)
+- `Source Files/Biryani-Light.ufo/` -- UFO source (Light)
+- `Font Files/TTFs with ttautohints/` -- Pre-compiled TTF files
+- `Font Files/OTFs/` -- Pre-compiled OTF files
+
+The source files (Glyphs and UFO) are present but there is no gftools-builder configuration. The font file naming also differs between upstream (e.g., "DemiBold", "UltraLight", "Heavy") and google/fonts (e.g., "SemiBold", "ExtraLight", "Black"), suggesting the fonts were reprocessed.
+
+No override config.yaml exists in the google/fonts family directory either.
+
+## METADATA.pb Source Block
+
+The current METADATA.pb in google/fonts has a minimal source block with only `repository_url`. The commit hash was added by our project but hasn't been merged yet. There are no file mappings or config_yaml fields.
+
+## History
+
+1. **2015-04-20**: Biryani initially added to google/fonts (commit `35b05c3cd`)
+2. **2015-10-02**: File naming corrections (commit `72983290`)
+3. **2015-10-05**: ExtraLight style updated (commit `d4f76456f`)
+4. **2017-05-08**: Version 1.004 added (commit `0212fe7f5`, PR #808 by Marc Foley)
+5. **2024-01-14**: repository_url added by Simon Cozens (commit `46a7c0576`)
+6. **2025-03-17**: primary_script set to Deva (commit `8b70d4c34`)
+
+## Verification
+
+- [x] Repository URL is valid and accessible
+- [x] Commit hash exists in upstream repo (HEAD of master)
+- [x] Upstream repo contains source files (Glyphs, UFO)
+- [ ] No config.yaml exists in upstream repo
+- [ ] No override config.yaml in google/fonts family directory
+- [ ] Font version mismatch: google/fonts has v1.004, upstream only has up to v1.003
+
+## Confidence Level
+
+**Medium** -- The repository URL is correct and the upstream contains the original source files. The commit hash is HEAD of master which is reasonable for a pre-packager font. However, the version mismatch (v1.004 in google/fonts vs v1.003 in upstream) suggests the fonts were modified externally before being added. The absence of config.yaml means this family cannot be rebuilt with gftools-builder without creating one.
+
+
+## Override Config YAML
+
+An override `config.yaml` has been added to the google/fonts family directory. Contents:
+
+```yaml
+sources:
+  - "Source Files/Biryani 20150307.glyphs"
+buildVariable: false
+```
+
+This override config enables gftools-builder to compile the font from upstream sources.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. Who compiled the v1.004 binaries? Marc Foley submitted PR #808 but the PR body was empty. Were the fonts compiled from the upstream sources with a version bump, or from a different source?
+2. Should a config.yaml be created for this family? The Glyphs source is present, but the weight naming differs between upstream and google/fonts, which would need to be addressed in the config.
+3. Is the upstream repo still actively maintained? The last commit is from 2015.
