Non-authorship chain: original author (12-page snapshot) → 09d stamper (subagent C, ~10:30 UTC) → this pass (non-author, edits are dated amendments only). Probed live ~13:46 UTC: (1) limit-parameter semantics — no param or `?limit=300`: 300 nodes, `omitted: 1279`, `omittedOrphans: 153`; `?limit=0` / `?limit=-5` / `?limit=abc` / `?limit=999999999`: FULL graph, 1579 nodes / 8206 edges, `omitted: 0`, `limit` key `null`; `?limit=1578`: 1578 nodes, `omitted: 1` — the cap applies only to finite numeric limits within range. (2) `stats`: pages 1579 / edges 8206 / links 1451 / tagEdges 5910 / similarEdges 845 / orphans 153 / strong 2771 / weak 334 / meanStrength 0.511. (3) orphan identity: `stats.orphans` == the exact set of `degree == 0` nodes, 153/153. (4) degree identity: `node.degree` == count of ALL incident edges of any type — 0 mismatches over 1579 nodes. (5) `broken == []` on the full graph in one call. Corrected: the 09d 'orphans not enumerable from one call' claim is superseded — full enumeration in one request is possible via non-finite `limit`; live totals amended from 1576/8178 to 1579/8206.
