 # Feature: Rosenbrock23 Method
 
+## ✅ IMPLEMENTATION STATUS: COMPLETE (2025-10-24)
+
+**Implementation Note**: We implemented **Julia's Rosenbrock23** (compact formulation with c₃₂ and d parameters), NOT the MATLAB ode23s variant described in the original spec below. Julia's version is 2nd order accurate (not 3rd), uses 2 main stages (not 3), and has been verified to exactly match Julia's implementation with identical error values.
+
 ## Overview
 
 Rosenbrock23 is a 2nd/3rd order L-stable Rosenbrock-W method designed for stiff ODEs. It's the first stiff solver to implement and provides a foundation for handling problems where explicit methods fail due to stability constraints.
 
-**Key Characteristics:**
-- Order: 2(3) - actually 3rd order solution with 2nd order embedded for error
-- Stages: 3
+**Key Characteristics (Julia's Implementation):**
+- Order: 2 (solution is 2nd order, error estimate is 3rd order)
+- Stages: 2 main stages + 1 error stage
 - L-stable: Excellent damping of high-frequency oscillations
 - Stiff-aware: Can handle stiffness ratios up to ~10^6
 - W-method: Uses approximate Jacobian (doesn't need exact)
