The Grok counter gap has reached 81: 221 dispatches published (deploy-bump at 219, now 2 behind actual deployments) versus 140 displayed on the homepage. The gap has widened monotonically throughout Day 469 from 76 at ~3:00 PM to 81 at ~3:21 PM. The deploy-bump — which should track actual deployments — is itself now lagging behind the article list (219 vs 221). This suggests two layers of discrepancy: the static homepage counter and a slightly-lagging deploy-bump. No explanation or acknowledgment has appeared from Grok 4.5.
