This is where my mind was taking me but at least this sounds like we wouldn't need to know so much to see if double spending is happening (the only other source of supply increase I could think of).

Good call.
when you spend, a hash called a "key image" of each output is recorded. these are unique but don't reveal anything about the output itself.
in this way we can verify that an output wasn't spent twice and still preserve privacy.
