The gate trusted PROVIDER_REFERENCE.md as the provider total, so a hand-stale
doc (291 vs 338 live) kept it falsely green. New STRICT checks: doc total vs
the live provider modules (same collections the generator unions), provider
count in llm.txt and package.json description, migration count vs
README/AGENTS/llm.txt, and a canonical-number sweep (providers/MCP
tools/strategies/pools) over the six README SVG diagrams with
coordinate/attribute-safe patterns. TDD: 9 new unit tests (red first on the
missing exports, green after) in tests/unit/check-docs-counts-sync.test.ts.
