the code=boro isnt a contradiction, people just took Code's word at face value, which is funny because the guide statement thats meant to validate the code comparison makes an effort to specifically highlight that code thinks this versus being an objective claim, then theres the fact that in context its referring to their abilities. which is true the series does treat code's claw marks as a big deal during this section of the story.
also kawaki and code are some of the worst characters to use to scale, code himself has no sensory abilities and has made some funny statements (like believing pre limiters that he could deal with cyborgs that far surpassed jigen) and kawaki is inconsistent too.
even a lot of early code scaling stuff has context people ignore, most notably that Amado is intentionally gaslighting and stoking fear into Kawaki, the intent is to get him take his karma back, which is why code gets a lot of glaze early on in that arc, despite later on confirming tha even people like delta and shikamaru would be enough to stop code. and even post limitless they thought Konoha could reasonably hold its own as long as he wasnt as powerful as Ishikki.
so tbf i think most of the internal scaling with Boruto and its statements make sense, people often times just forget context or havent revisited the stuff since release.
