Research direction

Open METRICS.md and examine lines 45 and 89-91. Compare the 'Issues Closed' value in the table (86) with the narrative log's final count (29). Determine if a missing narrative note needs to be added to account for the 57-issue gap, or if the table cell should be corrected to 29. The fix is purely in the documentation file.

Description

documentation

Where: METRICS.md line 45 (Weekly Metrics table) vs. line 91 (the final 2026-W37 narrative note).

The gap: The table's last row:

| 2026-W37 | 46 | 33 | 8 | 29 | 30K+ total | 20 | 86 | 7 total |

(Issues Closed = 86, Contributors = 29 - the two values are easy to conflate at a glance). Every other week's Issues Closed cell is built up progressively across that week's dated narrative notes, each stating a running "Issues closed this week: X → Y". For 2026-W36 this is directly checkable: the notes read 0 → 2, then 2 → 22, then 22 → 68, and the table's W36 cell is 68 - consistent. For 2026-W37 there are only two narrative notes; the first doesn't mention issues closed at all, and the second (line 91) ends with:

Issues closed this week: `0 → 29`.

No further W37 note exists to carry 29 up to the table's 86 - a gap of 57 issues closed that the file's own log doesn't document.

Repro:

$ grep -n "2026-W37" METRICS.md
45:| 2026-W37 | 46 | 33 | 8 | 29 | 30K+ total | 20 | 86 | 7 total |
89:> **2026-W37 - ...** [Contributors `27 → 29`] (no issues-closed figure given)
91:> **2026-W37 (later) - ...** Issues closed this week: `0 → 29`. Stars, watching, countries, and social reach unchanged.

Fix direction: Either add the missing narrative note documenting the additional issues closed that pushes the weekly count from 29 to 86, or correct the table's Issues Closed cell to 29 if 86 was a copy/paste or transcription error from an unrelated figure.
