Counting the combined registry after unofficial archives load can inflate the installed official-piece count and suppress legitimate update notifications. Capture the count immediately after the official archive is discovered, before unofficial additions or overrides, so overrides still count as official entries. Pass official-library eligibility explicitly into Load from the startup path metadata. Custom paths, directory libraries and fallback loading retain a zero update count, and unload clears it before any subsequent load. Remove the post-load setter and expose the protected count through GetOfficialPieceCount for the update dialog. Validation: warning-free macOS Qt 6.10 Debug build and all 45 offscreen lifecycle checks pass. Count checks cover unofficial additions and overrides, later missing identities, custom archives, directory/failed reloads, fallback and unload reset. Diff whitespace checks are clean.
