How this record was built2

`passage_count` counts DISTINCT passages reaching the object through the lexical, conceptual and ritual predicates this surface counts, and is the same figure the detail view reports. It is NULL, never 0, where no passage reaches it: the mention layer's measured recall is 0.8857, so a null is a lower bound and not an assertion that the corpus is silent.

`co_mentioned` is CO-OCCURRENCE WITHIN A MANTRA and nothing more. It carries no causal, prescriptive or pharmacological claim: a plant named beside an affliction is named beside it, and apamarga is named against sorcery rather than against a cough. `neighbours` holds the curated edges, which are a different strength of claim; the two are separate fields so they cannot be read as one.
