docs(governance): PENDING-99 census corrected; containment's sufficiency limit named
The census arithmetic is settled by counting, not by which reading closes: 17 instances / 15 distinct, the mislocation being one defect over two instances, so the session log was right and V2 §1.5 was wrong. My withdrawal of the original flag was itself the error — it inferred a breakdown from a total, which a total cannot settle. Yesterday's banked pattern: a number that matches is not a cause; it produced two candidates and I accepted each in turn. check_containment.py now carries the limit the PENDING-99 ruling exposed: containment verifies that what you quoted is ACCURATE, never that you quoted what MATTERS. An omission passes every time. The countermeasure is reading the adjacent clauses, not a better checker.

The countermeasure is not a better checker. It is a different act: read the clauses
