doxa-maps-88655c70 546916c41e Say which population the studio's count describes
The Plugin Studio header read "18 bundles · 27 elements" while the manifest
holds 19 and 28. The arithmetic was always right: rowsFromManifest skips the
studio itself, because it cannot be one of its own tabs, and 19-1 / 28-1 is
exactly what the header showed.

The problem was that nothing said so. The golden-path self-test — linked from
the golden-path doc as of this flight — reports 19 bundles and 28 profiles from
the same manifest. Two authoritative surfaces disagreeing by one, neither
explaining why, is how a reader stops trusting both; and the studio is the first
thing an admin agent opens, so a number that looks wrong there discredits
everything beside it.

"listed here" is the whole change. It names the population, so the difference
from the catalog total reads as a deliberate exclusion rather than an off-by-one.
The count stays derived from this.rows, which is the honest source — it is a
statement about what the studio shows, and now it says that.

Verified the exclusion accounts for the gap exactly before touching anything:
manifest 19/28, minus the single plugin-studio bundle and its one profile, is
18/27. Then read the rendered header at 1600px — 220px wide, sitting beside the
language selector without crowding it — and confirmed it in the regenerated
screenshot.

Nine gates pass, including check:synced-css: there are two .ps-count rules in
this file, the synced copies that must stay byte-identical, and this change is
JS rather than CSS so both are untouched.

Same shape as the self-test scoping documented earlier today: a number that is
correct for the question it answers, with nothing saying which question that is.

  • why.md — the problem and the "map islands" idea. Start here.
  • tutorial.md — build your first map, no jargon.
  • how-to.md — recipes: embed, iframe, SPA, colors, CDN, mobile, tokens.
  • reference.md — config fields, build scripts, the profile-config contract.
  • explanation.md — the model in 15 lines.
  • architecture/ — the deep end: full contracts, the per-file catalog.
  • README-embed-example.md — the drop-in README used when this bundler is embedded inside a host repo.

Nothing on the simple path is longer than a few minutes; everything complex lives in architecture/, linked from where you'd need it.
