## Title

    The expected node set must be explicit

## Body

    Observed symptom: Comparing only counts can miss a wrong entity, route, or relation substitution that preserves cardinality. The reusable problem is: The expected node set must be explicit. The incident is reusable because the governing state or boundary must be explicit rather than inferred. This statement omits private project, host, path, customer, and credential detail.
