fix(ci): track the paper count the published version actually declares

[gHashTag]

tools/check_catalog_count.py prints a warning on every invocation:

WARN: SSOT (83) != paper count (84). An erratum to arXiv:2606.09686 is required
      (see ERRATA_2026-06-14.md). Canonical live count is 83.

The constant behind it tracks the paper's declared count:

# The count claimed in arXiv:2606.09686 Table 1 abstract ("exactly 84").
PAPER_DECLARED_COUNT = 84

That was accurate for v1. It is not accurate now. Fetching the current entry:

$ curl -sS "https://export.arxiv.org/api/query?id_list=2606.09686"

TITLE    : An 83-Format Numeric Catalog with Bit-Exact Conformance Vectors:
           A Vendor-Neutral Reference for FP8, BF16, MXFP4, and Microscaling Formats
ID       : http://arxiv.org/abs/2606.09686v2
UPDATED  : 2026-06-22T12:28:45Z
abstract : "...a catalog of 83 numeric formats spanning 13 families..."

The v2 replacement corrected both the title and the abstract. The erratum the gate demands is the one ERRATA_2026-06-14.md recorded and the v2 replacement carried out. The gate has been asking for it ever since.

Why this is not the edit the comment forbids

The comment says:

Do NOT silently edit this to match SSOT — the whole point is to surface the divergence.

Agreed, and that is not what this does. The constant tracks what the paper declares, and the paper changed. Editing it to match the SSOT would defeat the gate; editing it to match the current published title and abstract is what keeps the gate doing its job. Nothing is silent about it — the evidence, the fetch command and the date are in the comment now, so the next reader can re-check in one line.

The alarm still works

Verified by mutation, in the spirit of wp18_selftest_gate.py. With the constant set to a divergent value:

WARN: SSOT (83) != paper count (99). An erratum to arXiv:2606.09686 is required
strict-mode exit with divergence: 3

And with the corrected value:

SSOT   (// CATALOG: lines)      = 83
regen  (codegen fresh)          = 83
paper  (arXiv:2606.09686 declared)    = 83
OK: SSOT == fresh regen == 83 (canonical).

A gate that cries wolf on every run is one nobody reads on the day the divergence is real. This silences the false alarm without touching the alarm.

Closes #1583
