## Known gaps

Lovtidende A (lta) and accession-number (accn) ELI documents from the official sitemap. Folketing bills (ft) excluded. Soft never-thin expand above prior Hub tip 5f4dc273e1c0 (laws≥33328 arts≥0). Article extraction status ok on a majority of instruments; some instruments remain thin (<2 § matches) with article_count=0. Catalog-backed incomplete vs full discovered universe.
