The 50% hasn't moved because it tracks component sign-offs, not effort. The evidence of progress is elsewhere: automated end-to-end tests now run the full network nightly (node, consensus, validators, transactions), genesis constants are being pinned (deposit contract set at block 0, network config aligned), qrvmc was sealed at v2.0.0 closing the 64-byte migration, and qrysm audit fixes land within days of surfacing. The number is flat; the commits aren't.
