 | Monitor dry-run #12 | Dispatched 10:17:38Z after 10 quiet min; froze at sample 2 (10:19:24Z): `cell.production-gce-c16.health` 0. c16 did **not** crash (no container die, MIG NONE/HEALTHY, readiness=true throughout, `/health` 200 in 230 ms at 10:21). At 10:19:07–16 it logged "control activity renewal failed" x4 and a burst of 1006 closes, sqlFailures 1 -> 14, sqlLatencyMsMax 2588: a pg stall on the old image that did not reach the unhandled path. The probe's single fetch (30 s timeout) came back unavailable during that stall and `unavailableIsZero` turned it into health=0. | run 33862504601 |
 | Monitor dry-run #13 | Green 14 of 16 samples (10:48:38–11:03), froze 11:04:43Z: c9 crashed 11:04:23, c28 11:04:25 (then looped 11:05:04, 11:05:41); c15 probe also read 0 (stall, no crash). Missed by ~90 s. **Dispatched by hand 10:48:15Z** into a 43-min crash lull (last die 10:05:54; last director 500 10:31:49). The re-armed waiter never fired: its MIG-stable check used `grep -vc True`, which exits 1 when nothing matches, so `&&` short-circuited on the *healthy* case. Waiter armed 10:20Z: 10-min quiet + every MIG stable + 60 s recheck, then dispatch, then canary c7 on green. Held at 10:24 and 10:31 by lone director `/v1/assign` 500s (2 s pg-connect stalls, no cell crash). Director 500 events since 08:46: 6 (gaps 2.7/21/31/29/7.6 min). At 10:39 the waiter was re-armed with a 6-min director-500 window (the monitor's own delta is 5 min) instead of 10, since the gate only needs the 15 min *after* dispatch to be clean. Cell crashes have stopped since 10:05 (33+ min, longest gap since 08:40). 12 dry-runs: 1 pass (#6), 11 freezes, none on a real fleet-health regression. | Cascade gaps since 09:00: 31, 2.9, 5.1, 16.1, 4.0 min (median 5); a 15-min clean window is ~28% per attempt at this rate. | |

 | Gate decision | Owner asked at 09:36Z to choose: A keep looping / B recalibrate `directorErrors` 0 -> small n / C human bypass. Ten dry-runs, four froze on this bar. Recommendation B+A. Note: B alone would not have passed #9 or #10 (cell health probes and a 12-error burst); it fixes the single-500 false freezes (#7, #8) only. | |
