Calibrated against precedent with the same counting method: the 2026-07-26 close
is exactly 15, so the cap is achievable rather than nominal. Also measured, and
worth noting rather than quietly matching: the STAGE-5 GROUNDING AUDIT close in
this same file runs 33 lines -- an unremarked breach of the rule this trim
respects. Flagged, not fixed here; rewriting a landed bookend is a separate call.
