The prose still says "four" about inventories that hold six, ten and eleven — six sites, all predating #45

Copilot's round-5 review of #45 named six places where the prose still says four about inventories that have not held four for some time. Every one of them is already false on main at 8345d2f — INSTALLABLES has carried ELEVEN since Amendment 11 and SHIPPED_BASH SIX (openRepoTools, park, resume, status, restart→lane, lanes) — so this predates #45's diff, which renames one member of those lists and moves no count. Filed rather than folded into that pull request, whose diff is already fourteen files.

main at 8345d2f, verbatim:

tests/test_repo_hygiene.py:39   SHIPPED_BASH = ["openRepoTools", "park", "resume", "status", "restart", "lanes"]
openRepoTools:220               INSTALLABLES=(openRepoTools park resume status restart lanes lanes-edit.sh lane-start lane-end link-estates repos.tsv)

The sites, each of which contradicts a list in the same file or one it explains:

where	what it says	what is true
`README.md:333`	"Windows: all four files are bash"	six PATH commands are bash, ten shipped bash files in the CI parse list
`README.md:403`	"The macOS job parses each of the four bash files with `/bin/bash -n`"	the job's own list is ten
`.github/workflows/tests.yml:177`	"THE SAME SUITE ON macOS, because these four files are what a Mac runs"	the step under it parses ten
`openRepoTools:370`	"ONE PATH NOTE for the four of them"	`${#INSTALLABLES[@]}`, which the line two above it prints
`tests/test_repo_hygiene.py:6`	"facts about the four bash files and the four documents"	`SHIPPED_BASH` is six; the documents list is its own count
`tests/test_repo_hygiene.py:2126`	"every `\n` in these four bash files"	the same six
`tests/test_openrepotools_command.py:9-11`	"There are FOUR files to answer for (`openRepoTools`, `park`, `resume`, `status`), because `--install` places all four or none"	`INSTALLED` is eleven, and the module derives every other count from it
`tests/test_openrepotools_command.py:530, 590, 632, 644`	"the four of them", "all four or none", "the four files `--install` places", "which of the four were missing"	the same eleven
`tests/test_lane_helpers.sh:30, :312`	"The four commands and the shipped alias table"	six commands and the table

The rule this repository already applies is to DERIVE and not restate — tests/test_openrepotools_command.py derives every count it prints from INSTALLED, and #45's round-3 commit corrected exactly this class of drift in the paragraph above SHIPPED_BASH (tests/test_repo_hygiene.py:34). The fix here is the same one, applied to the six remaining sites: say "the shipped bash files" and "everything --install places" where the number is not load-bearing, and derive it where it is.

Worth a case of its own: a hygiene test that refuses a spelled count in the prose of a file that also defines the list it is about would stop this coming back a seventh time — but the six lines above are the act, and that test is a second decision.

Two of the sites are already gone, fixed on main by #53 (66b4fb9, "two module comments now point at the lists instead of restating a stale file count"): tests/test_repo_hygiene.py's module docstring and tests/test_openrepotools_command.py's "There are FOUR files to answer for" paragraph. Measured on main at a954435 merged into feat/lane-the-word.

What is left, same rule — say "the shipped bash files" / "everything --install places" where the number is not load-bearing, derive it where it is:

file:line	what it says
`README.md:352`	"Windows: all four files are bash"
`README.md:422`	"The macOS job parses each of the four bash files"
`.github/workflows/tests.yml:177`	"because these four files are what a Mac runs"
`openRepoTools:408`	"ONE PATH NOTE for the four of them"

`tests/test_lane_helpers.sh:30, :312`	"The four commands and the shipped alias table"
