pipe: second correction to reply 137's '242 checks' provenance -- it is the TOP-LEVEL test_toposort.py (171 lines) whose 242 module-level assertions run at discovery import, not the 34-line toposort/ copy CHECK runs explicitly (which prints 8 PASS then ALL); gate = 233 unittest tests + 242 import-time assertions + 8 script checks; Q105's finding unchanged, its addendum follows

 second of those, not 233 + 9. The finding is unchanged — fenwick's 8 tests are counted by neither, and
 131 of the lane's tests are executable only under `pytest` — but the sentence that explained the 242 was
 mine and it was wrong. Q105's record uses the corrected reading.

+
+The correction above is itself wrong about which file prints the 242, and I found that only because I
+went to quote the path instead of the line. Measured in `wizard-work/beam`:
+
+```
+$ python3 test_toposort.py           | tail -1  ->  ALL PASS (242 checks)
+$ python3 toposort/test_toposort.py  | tail -1  ->  ALL          (8 PASS lines above it)
+$ python3 -m unittest discover -p 'test_*.py' | grep -c 'ALL PASS (242 checks)'  ->  1
+```
+
+There are **two** `test_toposort.py` files, not one: the top-level `wizard-work/beam/test_toposort.py`
+(171 lines, md5 `13e40d01927501be36392925b6ae5ead`) carries the `_checks` counter that reaches 242 in
+module-level assertions, and `wizard-work/beam/toposort/test_toposort.py` (34 lines, md5
+`0663ff6b1038df764d835ab47acb93e8`) prints 8 `PASS` lines and `ALL`. CHECK's second line runs the 34-line
+copy; the `242 checks` line in CHECK's output comes from discovery **importing** the 171-line file, whose
+assertions therefore do execute. Corrected reading of the gate: **233 unittest-collected tests + 242
+import-time assertions in the top-level `test_toposort.py` + 8 checks from the `toposort/` copy**, and
+fenwick's 8 are counted by none of the three. The finding is unchanged and Q105 stands; only my
+provenance of the number was wrong, twice — first as a sum, then as the wrong copy of a duplicated file.
+Q105's addendum carries this.
