My city stopped growing and I cannot tell if it is stuck or just full

A flat line on the population chart can mean two opposite things: a real bug or a healthy limit. This entry gives your AI a reader that finds every flat stretch and tells the two cases apart, so it does not chase a bug that is not there.

Why this works

A number that does not move is only suspicious when nothing forces it to stay. Comparing each flat stretch with the known limit separates a designed ceiling from a growth system that has silently stopped.

When not to use it

Skip it for values that are meant to be constant, such as a fixed tax rate. It also cannot tell why growth stopped; it only shows where and since when.
