docs(deed): correct the descriptor census in the mapping doc - #984
Merged

Conversation
The census this document recorded on 2026-09-22 was wrong, and the explanation it offered for disagreeing with standards#960 was a rationalisation of a control that was correctly firing. It read "23 distinct descriptors across 52 on-disk paths… 39 of those paths cite the deleted launcher-standard.a2ml", and explained the gap against #960's own figure of 21 by asserting that two set-level directories inflate the count. The sweep had been run from developer/ with no scope restriction, so it counted 9 paths under archive/ quarantine snapshots and 7 under tools/opt/cargo/git/checkouts/ — neither a live repository. 52 - 16 = 36. #960's 21 was right; this document's 23 was wrong. "An undercount by more than 5x" was also wrong: 10 -> 21 is roughly 2x. Re-measured scoped to hyper-repos and meta-repos: 36 paths, 21 distinct descriptors, 29 citing paths, 17 distinct descriptors citing, 18 distinct upstream repositories, 71 citing lines in six shapes — all # comments. Corrected in place and dated rather than silently overwritten, matching the two withdrawals already in this document. Gate and suite re-run with the edit in place: rc=0, 19 passed 0 failed.

The corrected census in the previous commit was itself measured with a broken exclusion. A ripgrep -g '!.claude/worktrees/**' glob only matches at the SEARCH ROOT, so it excluded nothing where worktrees are nested inside repos. It fails silently: no error, no warning, and it reads as scoping while supplying none. The exclude must be -g '!**/.claude/worktrees/**'. Path counts move: 36 -> 31 on disk, 29 -> 26 citing, 71 -> 66 lines. The distinct counts do NOT move: 21 distinct descriptors, 17 distinct descriptors citing, 18 distinct upstream repositories. That is exactly what removing duplicates should do, and it is the invariant worth trusting — the distinct figures were sound throughout, and only the path figures were ever inflated. The document now states the glob trap and marks the path counts as dated while the distinct counts stand. Gate and suite re-run: rc=0, 19 passed 0 failed.

Corrects a number I wrote and merged in
edac0d6a(#983, standards#960 AC4) — and then corrects that correction, because the first re-measurement was made with a silently-broken filter.What was wrong on
main§7 of
1-formats/deed/mappings/launcher-standard-to-praxis-deed.adocrecorded:and explained the disagreement with
standards#960's own figure of 21 by asserting that two set-level directories (_DATABASE,_ESOTERIC_GROUP) inflate an app-name census.All three numbers were wrong, the multiplier was wrong, and the explanation was a rationalisation of a control that was correctly firing. #960's 21 was right; the 23 in this document was wrong.
Why
The sweep had been run from
developer/with no scope restriction, and its worktree exclusion did not work. Three populations were counted that are not live repositories:archive/quarantine snapshotstools/opt/cargo/git/checkouts/(burble×5,gossamer×2).claude/worktrees/copies52 − 21 = 31. And 10 → 21 is roughly 2×, not "more than 5×".
⚠ The trap worth carrying: a
-gexclude without**/fails silently-g '!.claude/worktrees/**'looks right, runs without error, and excludes nothing where worktrees are nested inside repos — a ripgrep glob only matches at the search root. It reads as scoping and supplies none, the same class of defect as a vacuous gate. The working form is-g '!**/.claude/worktrees/**', with a positive control asserted on the filter's own output.The corrected census
Scoped to
hyper-reposandmeta-repos, nested worktrees verified absent from the result:*.launcher.a2mlpaths on disklauncher-standard.a2ml#comments, in six shapesThe invariant that says which figures to trust: fixing the exclusion moved the path counts (36→31, 29→26, 71→66) and left 21 / 17 / 18 unchanged — exactly what removing duplicates should do. The distinct counts were sound throughout; only the path counts were ever inflated. The document now marks the path counts as dated and the distinct counts as standing.
Shape of the fix
Corrected in place and dated, not silently overwritten — the same shape as the two
