## Repository Investigation

- **Checked cache**: `/mnt/shared/upstream_repos/fontc_crater_cache/` — no cached entry.
- **GitHub search**: Searches for "Purple Purse font astigmatic" returned no relevant results.
- **Astigmatic GitHub**: The GitHub user `astigmatic` exists but has only two placeholder repos (`astigmatic/pro`, `astigmatic/project1`) — no font source repositories.
- **FONTLOG evidence**: The FONTLOG lists three VFB source files: `PurplePurse-Regular.vfb`, `PurplePurse-Regular-TTF.vfb`, and `PurplePurse-Regular-OTF.vfb`. No public repository is referenced.

## Source Files

Only FontLab VFB files are known to exist, as noted in FONTLOG.txt. These are proprietary format files and no open repository was found.

## Verdict

**No canonical upstream repository found.** The source exists only as proprietary VFB files with no public repository. No METADATA.pb changes were made.
