Minimum Word Count for Segments Without Letters

Any segment with content now counts as at least 1 word (1 Smart Word), even when it has no letters, such as numbers, codes, dates, and phone numbers. Previously these segments counted as 0 words, so a document could show 100% progress while some of them were still unconfirmed, and the stage would not complete. Progress now matches what is actually confirmed, and the stage completes as soon as everything is done.

The new counting applies only to projects created after it is enabled for the workspace. Existing projects keep their original counting, including documents added to them later, so word counts, statistics, and payments within a project never mix. In new projects, each such segment uses 1 Smart Word and counts toward assignee statistics and payments. Quality scores may shift slightly because these segments now carry some weight.
