Machine layer
Nothing is exposed to a machine that is not visible to a person on this page. There is no hidden keyword layer and no structured claim the visible text does not also make.
A city-wide category page only exists once we hold at least 3 independence-checked places in it across Leeds. Below that we publish nothing and the count is shown on the city page instead, because a two-item list is a thin page, and a thin page is junk.
That count is taken across Leeds, not inside any one area. The rule is evaluated against the scope being rendered, never against the parent: a city never inherits a page from an area, and an area never inherits one from its city. Where an area holds three of its own, both pages exist — they are different pages with different scopes, not one page with a filter.
