 ## Summary
 
-No canonical upstream repository with Glyphs or UFO sources was found. The only GitHub repository identified was `librefonts/originalsurfer`, which is a librefonts mirror containing VFB (FontLab) source files. No designer-owned GitHub repository was found for Astigmatic (Brian J. Bonislawsky). No METADATA.pb changes were made.
+The original design sources for Original Surfer were found in the `googlefontdirectory-hg` monorepo. The sources are FontLab VFB files (proprietary format, not buildable with gftools-builder). No canonical designer-owned GitHub repository was found.
