How the roadmap updates
The website never guesses development progress from the amount of code written. It calculates progress from real development tasks.
A feature receives a checklist

Completed work is checked off
When a development task is finished and tested, its completed value is changed to true.
The percentage recalculates
The page divides completed tasks by total tasks and updates the progress bar automatically.
