+    ASSERT THAT THE MOVE IS COUNTED, not which stage currently owns it.
+
+    This asserted `stage === "todo"` and now reads 0. The move is not lost — post-U11 the default
+    Planning column is ONE column carrying ["intake","hold","reset-on-entry"], and `stageForTraits`
+    prefers the earliest stage in flow order, so `intake` wins and a move to `todo` is attributed to
+    the `triage` stage. Nothing in analytics broke; the column vocabulary underneath it merged.
+
+    Which stage the merged Planning column SHOULD report is an open product question, flagged on
+    PR #2669: as it stands the funnel shows a phantom 100% drop between Triage and Todo on every
+    default board. Re-pointing the test at "triage" would quietly bless that, and re-pointing the
+    MAPPING would retroactively change how historical analytics read — not a reversible call.
+
+    So this asserts the part that is true under either resolution: both task moves are counted
+    exactly once, in the single pre-implementation stage the Planning column resolves to. It fails
+    if a move is dropped, double-counted, or split across stages, and it does not have to be
+    rewritten when #2669 is decided.
