  "what": "Every agent seat in the org registry, joined to whether it was ever instrumented, its current standing under the deterministic performance ladder, and, for the seats where one has been curated, the numbered human decision that created or wound it up.",
  "metric": "instrumented_count = seats with a committed per-seat run ledger. A seat without one is NOT failing and carries no verdict: its workflow does not call the shared action that writes a run row, so nothing about it has ever been measured. demotions_to_date counts halts written by the evaluator. promotions are not counted at all, because promotion has no code path.",
  "caveat": "The org is grading itself, the sample is small, and both facts are stated here rather than smoothed. Standing is computed from committed run rows, so it is exactly as fresh as generated_at and no fresher. What went wrong inside any single run is not published: the reason lives in a private issue and a transcript that expires, and neither is committed.",

      "why": "Never published, in any form. What holds it out is the FIELD ALLOWLIST: every object in this file is constructed field by field from its sources, never spread, so a cost, spend, token or quota field appearing in a stats row or a registry entry tomorrow has no path into this artifact by default. The forbidden-key walker is the second belt over that, and it names a fixed set rather than every word a spend field could be called."
