Highlights

01
Owls that show what Argus does
Six themed scenes per mood bring each header to thirty variations: pipelines and the dependency tree, advisories and fixes, patching and pinning, your project's own tests, packages and the supply chain, and the catalogue of versions.
02
The golden owl
Each mood has a rare golden owl with a peacock friend, a nod to Argus Panoptes, whose hundred eyes were set in the peacock's tail. It says under its caption that it is a rare golden owl, just for luck, and changes nothing. A project sees each mood's golden owl at most twice a year. Argus checks GitLab before showing one, and if it can't read the project's history the owl stays ordinary.

Six themed mood header variations for each of the six moods (180 in all).
The golden owl: one per mood, each shown at most twice a year per project, checked against the project's GitLab history, with a note saying it changes nothing.

When Argus edits a <dependencyManagement> section, runs of blank lines inside it (left by releases before 3.8.0 when they removed an override) shrink to one. Nothing else in the POM is reformatted.
