Subject: [PATCH] fix(devx): build tenant-audit-census self-test's
 unenforced-prose fixture from the page's own number
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The `⭐ a stale unenforced prose number is NOT a finding` / `an unenforced
prose claim reworded off the page IS a finding` self-test cases built
their `.replace()` search string from the LIVE census
(`census.declaredObjects`). The gate itself declares this figure
unenforced -- value free, sentence required -- so once the page's
stated number and the live tree disagree, that search string stops
matching the page, `.replace()` becomes a no-op, and the second case
fails for the PAGE rather than for the classifier it exists to pin.

Build the fixture from the page's own stated number instead (read with
the same `UNENFORCED_PROSE_COUNTS[0]` pattern the classifier itself
uses), so the pair of cases test the classifier's behaviour regardless
of whether the page and the live census currently agree.
