Cherry-pick from dev (#2782). This commit only.

The FAQ endpoint sentence paired an authored list of endpoints with {{count}}, the display cohort behind a 5 % success floor. 29 specs disagreed with themselves — abstract-rpc said 1 above three names, manta-rpc said 2 above four.

"Sustain continuous keyless probing" also asserted that every named endpoint answers, which the measurement contradicts: Thirdweb is declared on 31 chain RPC benches and answers 0.3 % to 1.5 % of our probes. The sentence now says the endpoints are probed, which is true either way, and the block from #2780 names the ones that do not reply with their success rate.

{{declared_count}} is derived from the spec's own provider list, so neither number is authored. A test pins the rest: no spec may claim continuous probing, none may pair the display count with that sentence, and every spec using it must use the derived placeholder.

Verified after the pick: 241 specs valid, 444 tests pass.

The FAQ endpoint sentence paired an authored list of endpoints with
{{count}}, which is the display cohort behind a 5 % success floor. The
two drifted: twenty-nine specs disagreed with themselves, the worst
reading "2 endpoints sustain continuous keyless probing today" above
three names, one of which answers 1.4 % of the time.

The verb was the other half of it. "Sustain continuous keyless probing"
asserts that every named endpoint answers, which is the claim the
measurement contradicts: Thirdweb is declared on 31 chain RPC benches and
answers 0.3 % to 1.5 % of our probes. An endpoint is probed whether or
not it replies, so the sentence says that instead, and the block shipped
in #2779 names the ones that do not reply, with their success rate.

{{declared_count}} is derived from the spec's own provider list, so
neither number is authored any more. Only the names are, and a test pins
them: no spec may claim continuous probing again, none may pair the
display count with that sentence, and every spec using the sentence must
use the derived placeholder.

The validator keeps an allow-list of placeholders and rejected all 88
files on the first run. That is the check working: the token is
registered now rather than the list being bypassed.

An earlier attempt rewrote the whole sentence, mangled the punctuation on
55 files and covered only 55 of 89 because the tails vary. Reverted. This
one replaces the faulty segment and leaves every tail alone.
