Observed symptom: A validator that treats a date-like number as an event count can admit or reject the wrong content. The reusable problem is: A date is not a count. 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.
