    "The scheduled July 24 Pacific nightly evaluation did not run. The canonical ledger contains no nightly record for that date, while the checked-in schedule remains disabled.",
    "Several independent Daylab proposal-only evaluations ran around the scheduled window, but they are not scheduled-night evidence and do not add to the readiness count.",
    "The canonical count remains three valid completed scheduled nights. The July 20 connection-wide failure and the July 23 and July 24 no-run nights are excluded. The process is not ready for expansion."

        "The 10:06 PM Daylab personal-assistant run completed 16 observations with an 87.5% pass rate, zero invariant failures, and a 14.2-second p95 latency. It is supplementary only.",
        "Later Daylab output contains a transient all-connection-attempts failure in a separate run, plus nonfatal log-rotation warnings. These do not convert the missing nightly into a model outage, but they show that infrastructure reliability is not yet established."

      "details": [
        "No generated improvement proposal belongs to the missing scheduled run, so there is no nightly proposal to approve or reject.",
        "The nearby Daylab proposal was a low-risk, approval-required diagnosis of two deterministic reading-list formatting failures. Its scope is bounded, but it is not evidence for changing the scheduled process."

  "decisions": [
    "Classify July 24 Pacific as no run, not as a valid completed evaluation or a model/API failure.",
    "Exclude Daylab and all infrastructure/no-run nights from the successful scheduled-night count.",

  "currentState": [
    "Latest night: no scheduled run; no run ID, execution mode, or nightly duration is available.",
    "Successful canonical scheduled-night count: 3. The valid nights recorded 100%, 93.75%, and 75% pass rates; quality and latency are not yet stable.",
    "Regression-probe outcomes are present in nearby Daylab logs but are not retained as durable per-probe results for the canonical nightly record.",
    "Model/API availability was not tested by the disabled scheduler. The separate Daylab activity demonstrates intermittent local availability but also logged a later connection failure."
  ],
  "limitations": [
    "Because the scheduler was disabled, there is no scheduled-run observation count, pass rate, failure-category breakdown, model identity, or generated proposal to inspect for July 24 Pacific.",
    "This review is read-only with respect to Hiro and does not repair the scheduler, alter Daylab, or rerun an evaluation.",
    "Existing Daylab records are not comparable substitutes for canonical scheduled nights because their suite rotation and execution path differ."
  ],
  "nextSteps": [
    "Obtain approval before repairing or re-enabling the scheduled workflow, then verify its preflight and a real child-process startup before the next window.",
    "Collect at least two more valid completed scheduled nights, preferably five total, with stable quality and latency and no recurring infrastructure failures.",
    "Persist per-probe outcomes and failure categories in the nightly ledger. Once readiness is met, first broaden held-out/adaptive test diversity rather than adding repetitions, and consider a bounded weekly deep run."

  "disclosureNote": "This entry omits prompts, model output, credentials, process command lines, private notification data, and implementation details that could expose operational security boundaries."
