I PUT A CONFIDENT WRONG NUMBER ON THE PAGE AND AM TAKING IT OFF. The footnote
read "21 of the 2,107 are not yet in any list". That 21 is the total minus the sum
of the DECLARED `count` fields in clusters.json — a claim about that file's
bookkeeping, not about membership. I wrote it, asserted nothing about it, and
shipped it twice.
TRYING TO VERIFY IT PRODUCED A SECOND WRONG NUMBER, which is what settled the
question. Resolving every selector against the packet records gives 418 in no
geographic list, not 21. But that cache carries only TWELVE fields — no
wagf_region, no wagf_block — so 13 of the 27 selectors cannot resolve against it
at all, and deaf_predicate matches 0 of the 123 deaf records that ARE in it. Both
figures describe the FIXTURE, not the product. Nothing on disk can answer this.
AND THE QUESTION IS ILL-POSED BESIDES. clusters.json has FOUR buckets, and
allLists() reads three: the two DEAF lists (61 + 62 groups, with their own poster)
are excluded. Summing all 29 gives 2,209 against a source total of 2,106, so the
deaf lists OVERLAP the geographic ones — a deaf group in West Africa is in both.
They are a second, cross-cutting partition, organised by disability rather than
geography, which is very likely WHY allLists() leaves them out: including them in
a zone-to-list map would double-count. So "in no list" has no single answer until
someone says which partition is meant.
funnelPage already falls back to the provenance-only footnote when `unassigned` is
absent, so removing it is the whole fix: the page now says "Counts from IMB /
peoplegroups.org, captured 2026-07-16." and stops there. The share line is
untouched — "1 of 27 lists · 2% of the 2,107" is provable.
BOTH PATHS CHANGED TOGETHER. The Node generator computed the same figure; leaving
it would have made the two packets disagree about page 2.
CARDED FOR THE DRIVER, because two of these are product questions and not mine:
whether a packet counts 27 geographic lists or 29 including the deaf ones, and
whether "Central Asia + Pakistan" is a prayer list rather than a residual bucket.
It has 55 groups, contiguous=true with contiguityExempt=false, a country-code
selector, and the poster wall already files it under "Central Asia" — it is larger
than four accepted lists (Europe 55, Oceania 53, SE Asia 50, Southern Africa 39)
and reads exactly like them. Its neighbour uncovered-scatter is the genuine
catch-all: 8 groups, contiguous=FALSE with contiguityExempt=TRUE, and that
exemption flag is the tell. So "27 or 25" was a false binary and 26 is live.
Verified: all 18 packets in out/ pass sheets, rows==bars, zero-population and the
script check; the footnote no longer contains "not yet in any list"; the share
line is unchanged.
⚠ NO BUNDLE REBUILD IN THIS COMMIT — dx-shepherd's shot window forbids public/
churn while rega reshoots the README screenshots. This is source only; whoever
builds after the all-clear produces the matching artefact.
