We develop a framework for deterministic approximate counting of multi-spin systems beyond bounded-degree graphs. The algorithm recursively constructs rational polytopes containing the true marginal vectors and uses linear-fractional programming to obtain certified bounds on marginal ratios. For positive interactions on graphs of polynomial connective constant $D$, we establish strong spatial mixing whenever $Dc<1$, where $c$ bounds the Birkhoff contraction coefficients of the interactions. Under the same condition, we also give a deterministic fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (\textbf{FPTAS}) for the partition function. We further extend the framework to proper colorings of sparse Erdős-Rényi random graphs using recursion on permissive blocks. For every fixed $η\in(0,1)$, sufficiently large fixed $d$, and fixed integer $q\ge(2+η)d$, we obtain an \textbf{FPTAS} for counting proper $q$-colorings of $G\sim\mathcal G(n,d/n)$ with high probability over $G$. This improves the leading constant $3$ in the earlier counting guarantee of Yin and Zhang (APPROX/RANDOM, 2016) to $2$, and asymptotically matches the spatial mixing regime established by Yin (ICALP, 2014).
