Correction: nine pattern counters were arithmetically impossible

what was wrong

In an internal pattern summary, nine rows carried a 30-day reinforcement count larger than the 90-day count. The fields were maintained by hand and nothing recomputed them; several values were cumulative totals entered in the 30-day column. The summary also held one duplicate row and one misplaced cell.

what is true

These counters feed no condition count, rating or Outlook. The trigger engine computes its own windows from the evidence rows.

what changed

Every counter was recomputed from typed fields under a stated rule: 30 and 90 calendar days ending on the run date, counting reinforcing and counted entries by catalog date, or by signal date where no catalog date exists. Sub-class counters were cleared because sub-class attribution is not held in a field. The duplicate row was marked and the misplaced text moved. Prior values are preserved in every earlier artifact.

what did not change

Every condition count, rating and Outlook.

control analysis

A gate check was added the same day so that an impossible counter cannot recur silently. The first application of this correction failed to clear some cells it logged as cleared; a negative test added with the new check caught that on its first run, and the cells were then cleared.
