The README is the one page that claims numbers without showing the command that produced
them, so each was run.

Claim Was Is
cargo test --workspace 149 tests 179
cargo xtask diff cases six — and nine, in one other place nine, six of them real mission downlinks
digest covers ~17 000 packets 19 025
sample output a run two versions old a real one

The three constructed cases are byte_order, mil_1750a and context_calibrators: no
mission file in reach sets byteOrder or carries a <ContextCalibratorList>, so there is no
recorded telemetry to put in front of the reference.

Separately, the codegen line in the "Try it" block ended in a double backslash — pasting it
fed the shell a literal backslash and then a stray path.

Verified unchanged: 19 bundled definitions, 29 inline end-to-end cases, 7200 JPSS packets.

The README is the one place that claims numbers without showing the command, so
each was run:

* `cargo test --workspace` is 179 tests, not 149.
* `cargo xtask diff` covers nine cases, not six — the page said nine in one
  place and six in three others. Six of the nine are real mission downlinks;
  byte_order, mil_1750a and context_calibrators are constructed, because no
  mission file in reach sets `byteOrder` or carries a `<ContextCalibratorList>`.
* The digest is over 19 025 packets, not ~17 000.
* The sample output was from a run two versions old. Replaced with a real one.

And `codegen \\` in the "Try it" block was a double backslash, so pasting the
command fed the shell a literal backslash and then a stray path. One backslash.

Verified unchanged: 19 bundled definitions, 29 inline end-to-end cases in
decode_inline.rs, 7200 JPSS packets.
