Hi, Donal from JSS here. We're on R27, revision 27 of the signal weights and features. Each revision gets snapshotted as a "golden" version in config, run through a full backtest, and the results pages pull dynamically from that snapshot, so the numbers are always anchored to a specific revision.
The round numbering is partly for exactly the reason you named: it forces a name onto every change. When a result comes out wrong, the temptation to quietly shift a threshold is real, and having to call it R28 and re-run the full validation raises the cost of doing that on a whim.
Perhaps a changelog would close the loop though? Right now, R27 is visible in config and referenced in the metrics, but there's no page that says "R27 changed X because Y, here's what the backtest/walk-forward showed before and after." That's the missing accountability layer, and probably more useful to a skeptical reader than any amount of methodology prose.
