HOSTESS 7 · how many · why seven
================================
She is Hostess **7**. Constellation count = **7**. Not 17.

17 was off-the-cuff · withdrawn.
Identity stamp is always seven: mode 0 / 7 / 11 → 7|1.

SEVEN (first constellation = CHEBY)
-----------------------------------
  1  CHEBY      ← first
  2  ONION
  3  CATCH
  4  SALT
  5  FACE
  6  SPHERE
  7  CSG

That is the kit face. No 8th–17th star.

WHAT ABOUT FORENSICS / ANALYSIS / EMAIL / METAL?
-----------------------------------------------
They are **charges and limbs** under her · not extra constellation lines.

  forensics/   metal ASM audit
  analysis/    metal ASM free lane
  email        public-read charge (mode 15)
  scar / AV    secure charge (mode 16)
  BAPHOMET / ARE / COOK / EZZIE   already on the travel line or teaching limbs

Modes 12–16 return GRIN 1 (accept charge) · they do **not** grow the star count.
Mode 17 is not a stamp · falls through to GRIN 1.

NOT
  · fifth linear pin
  · hierarchy over Me
  · inventing pin C
  · renaming her Hostess 17
