+summary: Board column headers now count REVISING (replan) cards and other visibly active cards in the processing count.
+category: fix
+dev: Column header count = shared Running predicate ∪ card activity-chrome predicate (isTaskAgentActive); footer/admission keep live-agent-only semantics.

   Column header is executing/total (e.g. 3/4). Executing uses the same Running predicate as the
   footer (unpaused WIP, live planners, active review). Total is the card count in this lane.

+  The header must agree with the cards below it: a Todo card parked in the durable
+  `needs-replan` stage keeps its REVISING badge and activity chrome (FN-8494), so a header
+  that only counts live agents read 0/2 under a glowing card. Union the shared Running
+  predicate with the card's own activity-chrome predicate (isTaskAgentActive, same
+  globalPaused/stuck gates the card applies) so the count equals the number of visibly
+  active cards. Footer Running and admission intentionally keep the live-agent-only truth —
+  a parked replan must not consume top-level concurrency capacity.
