"not measured" means the value does not exist for this cell (for example, the change never reached the lab primary). It is never zero.

Answer

The change request, as the model wrote it (JSON).

The build waits for long-running transactions to finish but does not block DML. Standby: the build replays as ordinary WAL, and no standby query should be cancelled. If the build fails it leaves an INVALID index, which the guard step and rollback DROP handle. Rollback uses DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY, which can take longer than the 30 s rollback limit if it waits on old transactions; if the drop is cancelled the invalid index stays and must be dropped by hand. The change does not change any rows and is reversible."
