Polyscope and Geometry central disagree on the number of halfedges in a mesh ?

Not sure if anyone else has found this or if I am doing this wrong but I have found that when loading a mesh in with geometry central and then trying to add a halfedge scalar value to the mesh in polyscope I get an error as polyscope thinks there is fewer halfedges than geometry central does. Incase I am doing something stupid I have added a snipped below.

polyscope::init();
//Load Mesh 
std::tie(mesh, geometry) = readManifoldSurfaceMesh("QuadMesh.obj");
//Register Mesh
sm = polyscope::registerSurfaceMesh("my mesh", geometry->vertexPositions, mesh->getFaceVertexList());
//Object to store halfedge values
HalfedgeData<int> visitedHE(*mesh, 0);


// Filling data (This is not the way I am actually doing it, but its essentially the same )
for(Halfedge he : mesh->halfedges()){
visitedHE[he] =1;
}

sm->addHalfedgeScalarQuantity("HEvisit", visitedHE)->setEnabled(true);

polyscope::show();

From the mesh I have Geometry Central thinks that I have 10974 halfedges but polyscope thinks I have 10928 halfedges??

If I am missing something obvious then please let me know.

Start by reproducing the snippet with readManifoldSurfaceMesh(), registerSurfaceMesh(), and addHalfedgeScalarQuantity(). Compare the halfedges() count with the registered surface mesh count, then trace where those counts are established. Done means the discrepancy is explained and the halfedge scalar quantity handles the same mesh consistently, with a regression check if the project has one.
