Three sentences, all true before #830 and false after it. I raised them in review
there; landing them separately because pushing to a branch in this repository is not
something I will do without being asked, and alpha3 is cut on Monday.

The three

docs/roadmap.md said, as the last thing on the page:

It is not a commitment, and it is not a schedule.

on a page whose own commit subject is publish the schedule. The commitment half was
already guarded by "Dates are a cadence, not a commitment". The schedule half was not.

docs/roadmap.md said, opening the Planned section:

Nothing here is committed to a release.

above a table whose only row is #752, which the release table on the same page dates to
1.0-alpha5. The collision is the assignment, not the dates, so the sentence now points
at that table instead of contradicting it.

design/RELEASE_PLAN_1.0.md said:

The tracker holds seven open issues and exactly one of them is a feature.

It held eight within hours of that being written, two of them mine from the same day.
The ratio it is arguing is still true and is what the sentence is for, so the total is
dropped and the ratio kept. A hard count in a hand-maintained file is true on the day
and wrong the week after, and the total is a gh issue list away.

Why these were invisible

All three are in lines #830 did not touch. A diff-shaped review cannot see them, and
neither docs_style nor the plain-language checker is a consistency checker: both
passed the contradictory page, correctly. Adding a fact can falsify a distant sentence
without touching it.

Gate

docs_style is 9 of 9 on this tree, including the em and en dash rule, checked with
the checker rather than by eye. The full matrix (preflight on five majors, suites on
18 and 19) is queued behind the two changelog gates and I will post its result here.

Both files carry zero em or en dashes.

Three sentences, all true before commandprompt#830 and false after it. Raised in review there;
landing them separately so the release is not held on a branch edit.

docs/roadmap.md said "It is not a commitment, and it is not a schedule" on a page
whose own commit subject is "publish the schedule". The commitment half was
already guarded by "Dates are a cadence, not a commitment"; the schedule half was
not, and it was the last thing the reader was told.

only row is commandprompt#752, which the release table dates to 1.0-alpha5. The collision is

instead of contradicting it.

design/RELEASE_PLAN_1.0.md said "The tracker holds seven open issues". It held
eight within hours of that being written. The ratio it is making a point about,
that exactly one is a feature, is still true and is what the sentence was for, so
the total is dropped and the ratio kept. A hard count in a hand-maintained file is
true on the day and wrong the week after, and the total is a `gh issue list` away.
