Limits of the record- This official page supports only the cited aspect of the question; unresolved details remain unconfirmed and independent review is pending.
Which types of residence count fully, partially or not at all where the official rules specify this?
The qualifying period is time holding a 'vie privée et familiale' (private and family life) residence card as the parent of a French child; the applicant must still meet the criteria for that card.

Limits of the record- The page does not say whether other types of residence count partially or not at all.
What absence/continuity rules affect accumulation of the qualifying residence period?
The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the absence and continuity rules for the qualifying period.
What other major conditions apply, how is the status obtained, and what renewal, document-validity, retention or loss rules matter?
The applicant must provide evidence of effective contribution to the child’s maintenance and education. The resident card is valid for 10 years and renewable. The official source does not state how the card is applied for or the retention or loss rules.
