The total barely moved, and almost everything underneath it did.

Between v1 and v4 the annual total moved by $4,000 — less than 0.1% — which reads as a quiet revision. Underneath, contractor spend rose $412,000 and headcount spend fell $448,000 — two changes an order of magnitude larger than the net, moving in opposite directions. A third change is a single edited rate that silently moved fifty dependent cells.
