Subject: [PATCH] Fix: read a JSON field named count in a badge extract path

The extractor treated a path segment of `count` as the array-length token
wherever it appeared, so a badge pointed at a body such as {"count": 99}
resolved to zero. Only $count is the token unconditionally now; `count`
counts an array and otherwise reads the field.
