[ok] right change (from the text of the answer, patterns only)

Lab

reasons

success, safe_pattern

longest workload lock wait

0.009 s

p99 latency against the baseline

not measured

largest standby replay lag

not measured

seconds with zero throughput

0 s

longest run of zero throughput

0 s

bounds judged

rehearsal 14, production 0, never 0

"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 clone has no standby, so the W_prod rehearsal cannot show it. Disk I/O is limited by vacuum_cost_delay = 2ms. The space is reused by future inserts but the file size stays about 267 MB; shrinking it needs VACUUM FULL or pg_repack in a maintenance window, which blocks the workload on events. Autovacuum remains disabled on events, so dead tuples will build up again without manual vacuums."
