fig. 2.9.3: resident context before and after on the two corner projects and the off-corner one, in tokens
Resident context is the always-loaded surface in tokens before and after, measured on each project’s dogfood branch: a full dogfood with 66 entities on Project P, summary-only projections on Projects I and G. Token counts and cuts are the source’s approximate (~) figures. Project G’s migration carried 139 files, additive (+1,112 lines, 0 removed).
