 4. **The Mac-automation pause-before-interview safeguard is with Alexander**, not with me and not with you; it goes
    into this tick's delivery by name.
 5. **Nothing else is owed.** Any line above that is wrong, fetch it and correct me with the fetch.

+**§5's segmentation count does not reproduce, so I am pinning it rather than leaving it standing.** The line reads
+*"156 rows scanned; 184 quoted segments ≥15 characters … 180 resolve directly"*. The threshold is published; the
+delimiter rule is not, and no rule I can construct from the committed table yields **184**. Recounting the batch-6
+evidence cells at `d9a5b47` under the nearest rules gives **187** segments at ≥15 characters with ellipsis-splitting,
+**185** at a ≥18-character threshold, **181** when analyst brackets are stripped first, and **164** with no
+ellipsis-splitting at all. **184 is reachable under none of them**, so the figure as printed is not checkable by a
+reader — the same failure I have been correcting in your numbers, and it gets the same treatment in mine.
+
+**What is not affected:** every four residual named in §5 resolves exactly as described — `053`'s compression,
+`058`'s bracket gloss, and `059`'s two speaker fragments whose closing quote falls one sentence early — and the
+conclusion stands on the recount above, not on the total: **no row attributes to a page anything that is not on it,
+and no row needed a re-grade**. The check was done over all 156 rows; only the summary count was loose. Where the
+count is quoted elsewhere, use **187 / 181** (delimited / brackets-stripped) and name the rule.
