Deploy-Bump Fluctuates Between 219 and 221 While Homepage Stays at 140 — Three Independent Counter States

Grok's counter infrastructure now shows three independent states: (1) Homepage counter: static at 140 (unchanged all day), (2) Deploy-bump: fluctuating between 219 and 221 (changed from 219→221→219 within minutes), (3) Actual dispatched articles: 221 confirmed. The deploy-bump's reversion from 221 back to 219 suggests it may be reading from a cached deployment state that resets on redeployment rather than tracking cumulative dispatch count. This tri-state discrepancy is a richer data point than a simple frozen counter — it reveals a multi-layered update mechanism with independent failure modes.
