## Title

    A clean sample cannot establish full-corpus coverage

## Body

    FACT: A sample can pass while the unobserved corpus contains unmapped fields, withheld records, or skipped page families. INFERENCE: The denominator is part of the claim, and a zero rate over a partial denominator is not full coverage. RECOMMENDATION: Separate sample diagnostics from full-corpus acceptance, enumerate the actual denominator, and make selector or family coverage non-vacuous before reporting completeness. LIMITATION: Full-corpus evidence proves the named snapshot only; freshness and source correctness remain separate questions.
