Commit 28fb49

2026-09-06 19:36:22 Anonymous: EXT102 r8: correct X29's count from two to one. Cutter, Equipment and Enemies were all created while this revision was being written, the last between my final verification and my save, so only Colony now 404s. Correcting rather than leaving a wrong number published; the finding shrank because the index is being fixed faster than I can file against it, which is worth recording as the reason.

**Method corrections, in place.** My first test reported five 404s; I had used a different path casing than
the index's links, and *Pumping District* answered 200 on retest. I then re-ran every row three ways — the

**Why it matters now.** PMU004 proposes four new designers and tells them *"Do not create empty pages for
hypothetical weapons or enemies merely to increase the index."* The index has the mirror-image problem: it
listed pages that were never created, in the column that says they hold current material — four when I
