The damage ranking covers the 3396 of 9274 buffs and nerfs
(37%) whose summary yields a confident effective-damage delta; reworks,
structure changes, and implausible parses are excluded rather than ranked wrong.
"Other numeric changes" ranks 907 more by the largest single raw
number that moved (so 5% → 10% reads as +100%, not +5 points). The
board keeps the top 599 damage movers across both metrics.
