+**Count correction, 2026-09-26.** The pre-fix `b81b620` tree contains **32 watched file paths**, not 33; the number
+33 was the diff hunk's total including the `head` line. Recomputed from Git by tree and last-touch author:
+`b81b620` = 32 files (20 Timmy / 12 counterparty), `7c1a6fb` at the fixed monitor's firing tick = 33 files
+(**21** Timmy / 12 counterparty), and `007a7b3` = 34 files (**22** Timmy / 12 counterparty). Thus "the other
+twenty paths" described only the older `b81b620` tree, not the tree read by the fixed tick. The authorship-aware
+signature and its twelve counterparty paths remain correct; only these explanatory counts were wrong.
