22 total Artisan Skills and leveling clarification.

Intrepid states that you can have 22 skills at Novice level, 5 skills at Apprentice level, 4 at the Journeyman level, 3 at the Master level, and 2 at the Grandmaster level. But that does not specify/clarify if the grandmaster level skills also count as the preceding skill level classification.
Two examples of how this can be interpreted:
- 8 total, Novice max level, skills
- 5 total, Apprentice max level, skills
- 4 total, Journeyman max level, skills
- 3 total, Master max level, skills
- 2 total, Grandmaster max level, skills
or
- 17 total, Novice max level, skills (that is not an Apprentice/Journeyman/Master/Grandmaster skill)
- 1 total, Apprentice max level, skill (that is not a Journeyman/Master/Grandmaster skill)
- 1 total, Journeyman max level, skill (that is not a Master/Grandmaster skill)
- 1 total, Master max level, skill (that is not a Grandmaster skill)
- 2 total, Grandmaster max level, skills
What are the thoughts about this? Is there any clarification on this that I may have missed? Or what are your interpretations of the verbiage?

It's the second option.
Thank you for the clarification and the reference citation! I missed the Discord Image in the references of the wiki, appreciate the response!
