Rich — small thing, easy fix. Two spots in the README disagree on the test count, and the Status section reads like PHASE-5-AND-BEYOND.md doesn't exist.
Inconsistencies
README.md line 6 (badge):
[]()
README.md line 216 (Status section):
Test count this snapshot: 288 passing (210 integration + 78 unit, all green against live Neo4j 5.26).
CONTRIBUTING.md quick-start cites a third number ("469 tests, ~12s"). Three numbers across three docs. Whichever is current, the other two should match it.
Softer point on framing
The Status section calls Atlas "alpha — under active development" and stops there. Meanwhile PHASE-5-AND-BEYOND.md (same repo) is a candid inventory of what's not built yet — entity resolution, LLM extraction, decision lineage, the launchd daemons. That document is one of the most credibility-positive things in the repo. Hiding it from the README means a first-time reader doesn't know it exists.
Suggested fix
In the Status section, after the alpha framing, add:
For a candid inventory of what's intentionally not yet shipped (entity resolution, LLM extraction, decision lineage, continuous-ingestion daemons), see PHASE-5-AND-BEYOND.md.
And reconcile the test count across README badge, README Status, and CONTRIBUTING quick-start to whichever number is current on master.
Happy to PR it if useful — just say the word and tell me which number is the right one.
