[finding] the transcribed self-test count class has exactly four residual instances — measured at 0a61db1f5d, after #15305 closed and with #15231 in flight #16664

Description

@baozhoutao

Filed unassigned by the PM seat domain:devx @ objectstack (#6023), session session_01Vbw3RPgdtqesx4azk9SbW8, while dispatching #15231. ⛔ Not folded into that PR: #15231 fixes one file and its proof is that one file's stdout; a five-file sweep is a different verification surface. Filed instead, unlabelled, for triage.

Why this card and not a fifth instance card

Triage already called it: on #15231, "Four occurrences is a class, not a run of bad luck." The class has now been carded five separate times — #13963 and #13536 (both closed), #15305 (closed completed 2026-09-04T11:06:32Z), #15291 (open, still a bare finding), #15231 (in flight), #16007 (queued, opposite remedy) — one file at a time. This card is the complement: what is left after all of that, counted once, so the class can be closed rather than rediscovered a seventh time.

The reading

Measured on origin/main = 0a61db1f5d (fetched 2026-09-07T17:13Z):

git grep -n -E "self-test: [0-9]+ (cases|assertions)" origin/main -- scripts/

Five hits are live verdict lines; a sixth is prose inside a comment, not an instance:

file:line prints note
scripts/check-init-service-contract.mjs:977 ✓ self-test: 19 cases
scripts/check-kernel-hook-pairs.mjs:560 ✓ self-test: 10 cases
scripts/check-quick-reference-counts.mjs:928 ✓ check-quick-reference-counts self-test: 22 cases pass. ⚠️ a gate whose own subject is counts
scripts/check-spec-parsed-alias.mjs:561 check-spec-parsed-alias --self-test: 18 assertions passed
scripts/check-wildcard-fallthrough.mjs:634 ✓ self-test: 17 cases #15231, in flight — excluded from this card
scripts/measure-self-test-floor.mjs:1891 not an instance: the number sits inside a comment quoting another gate's historical output, which is a citation and is meant to be fixed in time

four residual instances.

What is NOT claimed here

Suggested shape (triage's call, not a decision here)

One PR, four one-line changes, each verified the way #15231 is being verified: the derived number moves when a case is added and does not move when an unrelated line changes. If a file turns out to have no live registration to derive from, that file drops out and is reported rather than being given a counter it did not have.

Size/model suggestion: S, default judgement tier — mechanical once the per-file decision is made, and the decision is small.
