The gap: **Status: Foundational library complete - 61 explainers published, expanding toward a 60+ library** is self-contradictory: it states 61 explainers are published (61 > 60) while also framing that as still "expanding toward" a 60+ target, i.e. not yet there. git log -p -- ROADMAP.md shows this "expanding toward a 60+ library" clause has been carried forward unedited (only the count number bumped: 53→...→60→61) past the point where the stated target was reached. Every other Phase status line in the same file uses the opposite, consistent pattern once a target is hit - e.g. "Status: Goal exceeded - 29 external contributors, past the original 15+ target". METRICS.md's own Targets table separately sets a real, not-yet-reached explainer target of "65+" - so ROADMAP's stale "60+" phrase isn't even the number the project is currently tracking toward.
Repro:
grep -n "expanding toward a 60" ROADMAP.md
# 47:**Status: Foundational library complete - 61 explainers published, expanding toward a 60+ library**
grep -n "Explainers" METRICS.md # Targets table: | Explainers | 61 | 65+ | End of 2026 |
Fix direction: Drop the stale "expanding toward a 60+ library" clause (61 already exceeds 60), or reword to match METRICS.md's real target, e.g. "61 explainers published, working toward 65+".
