The language-count contract shipped this morning in #1859 had a hole: it
matched only the prose form "<N> languages", so README's shields badge
("languages-158-orange") never matched and the gate reported success while
the badge sat three behind the prose in the same file.
The cause is worth recording. The surfaces were enumerated with the same
regex the gate then used, so the verification could only ever confirm what
the enumeration had already seen. A gate and its own completeness check must
not share a pattern.
Both claim forms are now matched, in the per-surface check and in the
unregistered-file sweep, so a new file stating a count in either form still
fails. README's badge is corrected to 161.
Also corrects a stale range comment left by the PL/SQL merge: matrix B's
header said "CBMLanguage 80..163" when PL/SQL had made it 164. That is the
comment variant of the additive-counter trap — the numeric constants were
audited across that rebase, the prose describing them was not. The two
sibling range descriptors (GO..ARKTS = 68 rows, RACKET..PLSQL = 47 rows)
were checked and are correct.
