Say we looked, when we looked: 2,608 rows understated their own evidence

The performance worry that started this tick was unfounded and measured as such: the new
gaps table reaches first rows in 1,021ms, second-fastest of the four large tabs and ahead
of Gaps & Opportunities at 1,910ms. 901KB raw but 106KB gzipped, and smaller than the
1.8MB tables already shipping. Nothing to fix.

Reading that table found something that did need fixing. 2,608 of its 3,457 rows — 75% —
carried an EMPTY "pools checked" and listed eBible, Arclight and Door43 as NOT checked.
That is backwards. This build scans all three catalogues in full; a code reaching the
naming pass is absent from every one of them, verified — 0 of the 2,248 such codes appear
in any catalogue. "Not checked" reads as "we do not know". The truth is the stronger and
far more useful "we searched three catalogues and it is not there", which is exactly the
distinction a mobiliser needs when deciding where to work.

A FURTHER 849 ROWS had the same understatement in milder form, claiming only "ebible,
arclight" because their records predate the Door43 pass — though Door43 had in fact been
searched for them too. Provenance is now stamped once, uniformly, over every code: the
three catalogues this build actually scans are named as checked, and the four that
genuinely were not — GRN, api.bible, DBL, Progress Bible, all credential-gated — are the
only things the unchecked list ever names. 3,456 of 3,457 rows now state it correctly.

THE ONE REMAINING ROW IS HONESTLY EMPTY and now says why. "Arab, Gazan", 2,330,000 people,
has no ISO 639-3 code in the source at all, so nothing could be looked up — there was
nothing to look up WITH. Two blank cells read as an oversight; the row now reads "no
language code in the source — no lookup possible".

This moves the map's claims in the direction of knowing MORE, not less, which is the rarer
correction here — the previous eleven went the other way.

Verified: 0 rows left with blank provenance, the coverage gate and map gate pass, the gaps
tab still renders with both export buttons, and the country filter still isolates Chad at
94 and Nepal at 54.
