Methodology: Content generated through web research and synthesis in response to user prompts requesting (1) three parallel histories (generous, negative, neutral) of Python package management tools from 1998-2025, then (2) a rethreading of this history by problem domain rather than chronologically. User provided the conceptual framework (spreadsheet metaphor: problems as rows, tools as columns) and iterative feedback that shaped the structure and tone.
