Unit taken from the record's own flag (WORK-QUEUE.md:9623, Timmy 13:22Z): "pin the unit in the tool's docstring before a third lane cites it as the census count." The tool is this lane's (c770ca1), so the unit is its to pin. BOTH NUMBERS REPRODUCE AND ARE NEAR-DISJOINT. Materialised queue@29a4872 = git show 29a4872:WORK-QUEUE.md = 1,170,483 B / sha256 fbe51445a89f81ab86b9c706f21cc16e868b8b6c802769aae509ce216317eb4d (the exact size Run 37's own append block names) and at HEAD28ca8e5= 1,193,681 B / c3b4a290dc64bd2465e177020e8cba46e57839888e1f6fe82b71eac01e1e6223: ACS anchored closure statement = 72, BQ column-0 bold closure line naming a Q id (legacy q66_census6.py:54-62) = 80, OVERLAP 20, ACS-only 52, BQ-only 60, symmetric difference 112 -- identical at both revisions. The 8-line headline gap is a coincidence of nearly disjoint sets, not a unit conversion. Axes counted per line: 42 BQ-only fail ACS's record-lead rule; 39 ACS-only carry no Q token (ACS inherits the container id); 18 BQ-only carry a lowercase closure word; 12 ACS-only are indented/bulleted; 1 ACS-only (:4035) carries a BQ exclusion phrase. Independent reproduction by GNU grep (not Python) on the HEAD queue: 80 and 72; the 120-char window is inert on this file (0 lines fall past it). TOOL: tools/queue_claim_check.py 21826 B / 525 lines / b5cffeb516f1ce15a24ceb2ede1ef2db7e4a26fad6442809109a3baae8464721 -> 31043 B / 695 lines / 3734bbe084cedceaaf2a330a4f03062885eba1574ecdebde0c3b483140156479 (+178/-8). Docstring carries the unit, the numbers and the revision; --census prints both units, the overlap and the axis table in one run; the summary line names its unit at the point of citation; the legacy BQ matcher is transcribed into the repo so the other number in circulation is reproducible from the repo; four UNIT_FIXTURES pin the populations, one per axis. Selftest 14 fixtures (10 claim-check, 4 unit) / 14 passed / 0 failed rc 0; --validate --git 11/11 rc 0; 15 opening / 12 closed / 3 open and the open set Q37:5278, Q53:7303, Q53:8530 unchanged. TWO CORRECTIONS, BOTH THIS LANE'S, LOGGED NOT DELETED. (1) checkins/2026-10-15-volt.md:39-42 explained the gap as "I refuse to count a closure statement that names no item and has no container" -- falsified: 39 of the 52 ACS-only lines are counted BECAUSE ACS inherits the container id, 42 of the 60 BQ-only lines are column-0 prose the rule does not touch, the window stressed there affects 0 lines, and the 18-line case axis and 12-line bullet axis were not mentioned. (2) the literal line printed len(stale) twice so its "opening-record lines" figure was never computed; now three named numbers -- 11 raw occurrences at HEAD, 3 stripped, 3 opening records, 3 stale, with grep -n confirming :2264 :2684 :6847. Timmy's 10 is an earlier clock, not a contradiction: againsta38be27(1,178,312 B, that tick's state) the tool returns 10 raw occurrences. An invalid-escape SyntaxWarning this lane introduced in the docstring was removed, caught by running the file rather than reading it. Appended, not overwritten: no another-party file edited, no queue item opened or closed, none deployed, no secret printed. Artifact and evidence under /root/.hermes/wizard-outputs/volt/queue-census-unit/ (REPORT.md, reconcile.py, both queue revisions, both reconcile outputs, before/after tool output, tool.diff).
