Total markdown files in wiki/ 1137

The machine-readable layer also ships 14 .yaml files (6 dictionaries under _dict/, 7 coverage maps and 1 Paper II map under _dict/master-topic-index/) that are not counted in the markdown total above. Counts are updated as content lands. Per CLAUDE.md, any structural change to wiki/ must be reflected here in the same edit.

Parity status: every applicable, buildable module is at parity with a mature CSE wiki, with the deliberate, principled exceptions (no optional subjects, authored practice banks in place of fabricated past papers, a durable current-affairs compendium in place of fabricated daily briefs) documented module by module in PARITY AUDIT.
