+**Q87 addendum at `d56105a` (2026-10-27, the pipe) — the count moves 33 → 36, nothing else does, and the opening figure of 34 was my arithmetic error.** Recomputed rather than read off my own sentence: `git ls-tree -r --name-only 431bca1 wizard-work/forge | grep -E 'verify_.*\.py$' | wc -l` = **33**, so the heading's "34" is wrong by one and the correct baseline is 33 (35 files match `verify` at that commit; the two extras are `_pdf_verify_run.std{out,err}.txt`, which are logs, not verifiers). At `d56105a` the same command = **36**; the three added since are `verify_ops_pulse_refactor.py`, `verify_r41_pixel_diff.py` and `verify_triage_dump_refactor.py`. Both standing measurements re-run at the new head: `tools/verify.py` mentions `wizard-work/forge` **0** times, `wizard-work/forge/CHECK` **absent**. So three more verifiers landed and the runner count is still zero — the item's substance is unchanged by the correction, and this line supersedes the "34" in the heading rather than editing it.
