## How the Repository URL Was Found

The repository URL `https://github.com/librefonts/creteround` is from the `librefonts` GitHub organization, which archives Google Fonts sources migrated from earlier hosting. The URL was added to METADATA.pb in the pending PR branch `felipesanches/sources_info_2026-02-25` (commit `9a14639f3`, "Add source blocks to 602 more METADATA.pb files"). The main branch of google/fonts does not yet have a source block for this family.

## How the Commit Hash Was Identified

The commit hash `056740e1fea281c2e72adeae3d3753083b87d22c` is the only commit in the upstream repository ("update .travis.yml", 2014-10-17). Since this is a single-commit repo, it is trivially the correct and only possible reference. The font was first added to Google Fonts on 2011-12-19 (per `date_added` in METADATA.pb) and the TTF files have never been modified in google/fonts since the initial commit `90abd17b4` (2015-03-07, which imported the existing catalog).

## How Config YAML Was Resolved

No `config.yaml` exists in the upstream repository or in the google/fonts family directory. The upstream repo contains:
- `src/CreteRound-Regular-TTF.sfd` (FontForge SFD format)
- `src/CreteRound-Italic-TTF.sfd` (FontForge SFD format)
- `src/CreteRound-Regular-OTF.vfb` (FontLab VFB format)
- `src/CreteRound-Italic-OTF.vfb` (FontLab VFB format)
- Various TTX decomposition files for both Regular and Italic

SFD and VFB files are not compatible with gftools-builder, so a config.yaml cannot be created without converting the sources to a modern format.

## Verification

- Repository URL accessible: Yes
- Commit exists in upstream repo: Yes (only commit / HEAD)
- Commit date: 2014-10-17 13:33:50 +0300
- Commit message: "update .travis.yml"
- Source block on main: No (pending PR branch only)
- Source files at commit: SFD and VFB files only
- Override config.yaml: Not present
- Additional files in google/fonts: `FONTLOG.txt` present

## Confidence

**High**: The librefonts organization is a well-known archive of Google Fonts sources. The repo has only one commit, making the hash unambiguous. The font binaries (Regular and Italic) have never been updated in google/fonts since the initial catalog import.

## Open Questions

1. The source block (repository_url and commit hash) has not yet been merged to google/fonts main -- it is on the pending branch `felipesanches/sources_info_2026-02-25`.
2. No config.yaml can be created from SFD/VFB sources without source conversion. This family will remain in `missing_config` status unless the sources are modernized.
3. The font was designed by TypeTogether (Jose Scaglione and Veronika Burian). If there are more modern sources (e.g., .glyphs or .ufo) available from TypeTogether, those would be the preferred upstream.
