Research direction

Start in scripts/check_explainer_count.py, where the regex counts leading columns to find the Explainers cell in the ROADMAP Current traction table. Change it to read the header row, locate the Explainers column by name, and take that cell from the next data row. Done when a test that adds a column before Explainers still reads the correct cell.

Description

enhancement tooling

Where: scripts/check_explainer_count.py.

Current gap: The regex for the Current traction table's Explainers cell counts the eight leading columns, so adding or reordering a column makes it match the wrong cell or nothing.

Suggested approach: Read the header row, find the Explainers column by name and take that cell of the next data row.

Done when: a test adds a column before Explainers and the check still reads the right cell.
