Show the resolved candidate count before all-candidates evaluation

Objective

Show the resolved candidate count before all-candidates evaluation.

Notes: Added a catalog-backed pre-evaluation count on the Custom Meta form: blank resolves to 102 current generated candidates, explicit IDs update live, and metadata failures defer authoritatively to the evaluator. Count is explicitly before asset filters; Chromium and static browser contract tests pass. See research/findings/custom-meta-all-candidates-queue.md.

Approach

[reconstructed — uncertain] No dedicated findings Markdown located for t320. Summary reconstructed from research/findings/task-history.json entry and git history. Uncertain fields: detailed approach, exact file list, and metrics beyond the task note.

Files / code / data changed

• No commit SHA confidently associated with t320 in sampled log [reconstructed — uncertain].
• Task-history entry: research/findings/task-history.json#t320

Results

Task note: Added a catalog-backed pre-evaluation count on the Custom Meta form: blank resolves to 102 current generated candidates, explicit IDs update live, and metadata failures defer authoritatively to the evaluator. Count is explicitly before asset filters; Chromium and static browser contract tests pass. See research/findings/custom-meta-all-candidates-queue.md. [reconstructed — uncertain] No quantitative tables recovered for this entry; see git diff and task-history for grounds.

Conclusions

[reconstructed — uncertain] Outcome inferred from status done and task note.
