-Name the healthcheck success message once
+Add a --count flag that prints how many checks ran
 
 - Project: test-e2e
-- Source: burnin/run14-a
+- Source: gitea:test-e2e/29
 - Priority: 0
 
 ## Instructions
 
-scripts/orchestra_e2e_healthcheck.sh spells its success message inline. Give it a single named constant beside the existing VERSION constant and use that constant everywhere the message is printed.
+Give scripts/orchestra_e2e_healthcheck.sh a `--count` flag that prints `checks: <n>` before the success line, where n is the number of checks that ran.
 
-Behaviour must not change. The plain run, --quiet and --help keep their current output and exit statuses, and scripts/test_healthcheck.sh keeps passing.
+Plan this as FOUR phases:
+
+1. A counter incremented by the existing dispatch loop, with no output change.
+2. The `--count` flag parsed and stored, still with no output change.
+3. `--count` printing `checks: <n>` before the success line, and composing with --quiet and --json.
+4. The usage text in `--help`, and assertions in scripts/test_healthcheck.sh.
+
+## Work one phase at a time
+
+Implement phase N, request its verification, and only then begin phase N+1. Take the phases strictly in order.
+
+## Verification policy for this project
+
+Only two commands may appear on a run: line, exactly:
+
+- ["bash", "-n", "<path>"]
+- ["bash", "scripts/orchestra_e2e_healthcheck.sh"]
+
+Anything else is refused when you seal the plan. Give every phase at least one automated check from that list and at least one manual check.
 
 ## Research first
 
-Establish at least three findings with distinct confidence: at least one `fact`, one `inference`, one `assumption`.
+Establish at least three findings with distinct confidence: at least one fact, one inference, one assumption.
 
-
-## Quality gate
-
-bash -n scripts/*.sh && bash scripts/orchestra_e2e_healthcheck.sh
+Acceptance:
+- `--count` prints the number of checks that ran.
+- `--quiet` suppresses it, `--json` carries it as a field.
+- Every other flag is unchanged.
