require a counter row to say what does not count
Four of these counters were re-scoped the first time anything tested them, and every re-scoping was a sentence about what had been wrongly included: transforms were counting parse-phase work goldmark already orders, views were counting output formats, effects nearly counted an in-memory swap, extensions counts packages rather than goldmark's own extensions. So the fix is not another counter but a required shape. The table gains a fifth column and verify.sh fails on a row that leaves it empty — watched naming the offending row. Checked by shape rather than by wording, because a gate that demands a phrase gets the phrase and not the thinking. Writing the exclusion up front is the cheapest way to find out whether a counter measures a mechanism or a symptom, and all eight rows could state one, which is the first evidence that the counters are now scoped right.

## Why the pieces exist
|

|

**Every counter row says what does *not* count**, and `verify.sh` fails on a row that leaves that column
|
||||
empty (ADR-0070). Four counters had to be re-scoped the first time anything tested them, and each fix was a
|
||||
sentence about what had been wrongly included — so the sentence is now required up front. A counter that
|
||||
cannot name an exclusion is measuring a symptom.
|
||||
|
||||
**Counters in `docs/state.md`** turn "no abstraction before its second use" into arithmetic. Every
|
||||
threshold lives in that one table and nowhere else. The agent cannot argue a pipeline into existence
|
||||
one transform early — it writes the next one inline and lets the count force the extraction. Most
