Subject: [PATCH] fix(gate_main): count banks from the SOURCE, not from the
 slate

len(good) is "what we decided to keep", not "what was substituted". A draft whose stub
pattern does not match is a SILENT NO-OP: nothing changes, the build is trivially
byte-identical, the batch passes, and the function is reported banked while its
INCLUDE_ASM is still in src/.

Measured here: the bisect printed "BANKED 5 of 6" and func_8002B0B4's stub was still in
src/800.c - four real banks. The stub's absence is the bank oracle everywhere else in
this project; gate_main now uses it too, and names any accepted draft that never applied
instead of counting it.
