# Draft tag audit counts only the published corpus

Observed while building T654 on 2026-11-01. The existing tag `matrix
multiplication` has one public member, T5, whose live definition and tag API
were read. T654 is an unpublished second member, as requested by family #287.

`api/table/T654/audit` reports that the tag "reaches only this table".
The source check in `numberdb_app/management/commands/audit_table.py` reads
`Tag.table_count` and warns at <=1; `Tag.public_tables` in
`numberdb_app/models.py` filters on `published=True`. The warning does not
account for this private draft. The existing tag actually leads to T5, so the
warning's literal claim is false in this case. Publication is not attempted to
change the count.

Keep the requested shared tag pending independent critique. T654's prose and
Similar tables explain the matrix-multiplication relationship without claiming
an algorithm or a value of the complexity exponent. No tag was created, and
no published table was edited. This is an audit behavior finding, not a change
to the public table-contribution skill. No source files were edited.
