fix: correct slop-test gate count to 57

@@ -341,7 +341,7 @@ By the time you reach this step, one of four things is true:
 
 **Custom is a quiet branch, not a default question.** Most briefs route to catalog and the user never sees the words "catalog" or "custom." The 20 named themes plus the rotation rule already deliver structural variety; the fork is reserved for when the brief specifically asks for a tuned look the catalog can't carry.
 
-A custom theme is a **complete** OKLCH palette + font pairing tuned to the brief — not a one-off colour swap, not an excuse to bypass the rules. Every constraint in [`color.md`](references/color.md), [`typography.md`](references/typography.md), and [`anti-patterns.md`](references/anti-patterns.md) still applies. The 58 slop-test gates fire unchanged. The Step 5 preview block surfaces the palette + pairing in plain text **before** any code is emitted, so the user can redirect.

 The diversification rule is theme-route-blind: a custom run that follows another custom (or a catalog) must differ on at least one of the three axes from the previous entry, same as catalog-vs-catalog. Custom entries record their three axes explicitly into `.hallmark/log.json` (see [`custom-theme.md`](references/custom-theme.md) § F).

The full per-genre overrides are listed inline in `slop-test.md`.
