Yes, of course I read the complaint - I also linked to it so you can. The complaint lists specific claims that are said to be violated, but has no information on just how those claims have been violated. That will, presumably, come during the discovery phase.

I believe, though I didn't check with my-daughter-the-IP-attorney, that the complaint only needs to allege one representative infringement in each patent - that the litigation would consider the whole patent regardless of the complaint because it's the overall amount of overlap that drives the decision.

Sorry; that wasn't an accusation.  More like an idle question.  I haven't seen anyone address
the specifics of the complaint... most likely because there aren't any :-/.
