## Evidence on what was counted

Every reply is a single Markdown file carrying `-to-` routing and a four-part
date header. The directory also holds `README.md` (this index), three probe
scripts and a `__pycache__` directory; none is a reply and all are excluded.

## Method

1. `ls <replies>` enumerates every entry (evidence is the live FS).
2. Replies are files whose name matches `YYYY-MM-DD-to-RECEIVER[-NN].md`.
3. Per-date and per-recipient counters are aggregated with `collections.Counter`.
4. The committed verifier `verify_reply_volume_census.py` re-derives ground truth
   from the live directory with independent shell commands and asserts the files
   above match.
