## Title

    Numeric representation needs exact binding

## Body

    Observed symptom: A fluent provider output can change a date, count, or unit while passing prose review. The reusable problem is: Numeric representation needs exact binding. 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.
