The law on this layer's face:
CH1 amendments live: T5 split strong/weak/mixed (43% of Majlisi verdicts are weak-class - a graded tier is not a quality tier until split); T1 stands BY COLLECTION (no grade string exists for the sahihayn - labeled); the 31,176 sahih-tier is SUNNI-side, the shia strong-tier stands beside it. Tiers are built ONLY from transmitted material (collection claims + named graders' strings, verbatim); T3/T2b stay VISIBLE - hiding a da'if verdict is as dishonest as hiding a sahih; the union ceiling is carried as an HONEST BRACKET (lower/upper bound) until the uncapped link rebuild assigns hadith-ids per quote - never blended into one fake number

What this means for a reader: every number below was counted by a program from the sealed sources and can be re-derived by anyone running the same engine; nothing here judges a scholar or a translator - it makes the text's own facts checkable.

LENS-AUDIT E5: the quality-gate tiers + the union ceiling
