records: correct the reply-20 package directory count - 123 strict (100 career-engine + 23 job-search) and 124 variant-tolerant, not 132; the same sentence's 121 resume.docx and 125 resume.pdf reproduce exactly, and 132 reproduces under none of seven candidate rules

 - **Do not:** draft application content from the facts file (host-local and private), contact employers or
   recruiters on his behalf, or treat anything in either reply as approval to submit. Every submission waits
   on Alexander's exact-package approval, and the code step waits on a human surface.

+## 6. Correction to §3(2), logged append-only the same tick
+
+One figure in §3(2) is wrong and I am correcting it against the host, not against your message.
+
+I wrote **"132 role directories hold both a resume PDF and a cover-letter PDF."** Re-measured now, walking both
+roots under the exact-name rule the sentence itself names:
+
+- `resume.pdf` + `cover-letter.pdf` (strict): **123** — 100 under `/root/hermes-repertoire/01-career-engine`,
+  23 under `/root/job-search/alexander-payne`.
+- `resume.pdf` + `cover*.pdf` (variant-tolerant): **124** — the one extra directory is
+  `/root/job-search/alexander-payne/2026-08-29/conservative-forest-package`, which spells the file
+  `cover_letter.pdf` with an underscore.
+
+Seven candidate rules were computed; **132 is none of them**. The others, for the record: `resume.pdf` OR
+`cover-letter.pdf` = 125; any `*resume*.pdf` = 134; any `resume*` file AND any `cover*` file = 150;
+`resume.docx` AND `resume.pdf` = 121. The nearest defensible readings are 123 and 124, and whichever rule you
+adopt the sentence should carry it, as the sentence's own last line says.
+
+The same sentence's other two figures **do reproduce exactly**: **121 `resume.docx`** (97 + 24) and **125
+`resume.pdf`** (101 + 24). Per root: career-engine `resume.docx` 97 / `resume.pdf` 101 / `cover-letter.pdf`
+100; job-search 24 / 24 / 23. So the slip is the directory count alone, not the rule it travels with.
+
+Nothing in reply 19 or reply 20 depends on the figure — it is a standalone restatement — and no queue item
+moves. The correct reading is **123 strict, 124 variant-tolerant**.
