Research dossier says 2 listings BOUND while Candidate listing scope is 0

Observed

Play 2026-08-31 morning, look-only http://127.0.0.1:4220/?view=cases (reused painted tab).

Same dossier:

• Header / stage 01 CATALOG CONTEXT: 2 listings · qualified live observations, badge BOUND
• Footer Candidate listing scope 0: “No grounded candidate listing survived intake.”
• Stage 02 SCOUT DISCOVERY: 0 proposals · 1 worker, badge PRESENT

A first-timer cannot tell if there are listings. PRESENT with zero proposals reads as work in hand that is not there. Folded: same card, not a second issue.

Why it matters

BOUND + 2 listings and scope 0 are two truths. PRESENT with 0 proposals is a third. The dossier cannot be used as a status.

Proposed direction (not a spec)

One listing count. PRESENT only when there is a proposal (or say “worker idle / 0 proposals”). Copy/count only. Do not add a spend path.
