That line is not yet on `main`: it arrives with #231, whose `Test (Python 3.12)` leg fails today on exactly `CONTRIBUTING.md:36: advertises 12 tests` while its `Lint` leg passes, because the static gate skips the test-count family when no `--test-count` is given. This change is therefore the build-first half of that pair — it lands the mechanism, and #231 declares the marker on its own line. Two defects followed, and the second is the dangerous one: the false positive *counted as a match*, so `check_counts`' vacuity guard (the thing that turns a reworded or deleted claim into a build failure rather than an unnoticed loss of coverage) stayed silent. Probed on the pre-fix code: a tree whose only `N tests` text was that incidental line returned a mismatch, not the vacuity message — every real `6268 tests` claim could have been deleted and the guard would not have fired. A line whose number counts something else now declares `[not-a-count-claim:
