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

Lab

stage reached

production window on the lab primary

reasons

success, safe_pattern

longest workload lock wait

0.016 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 8, 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).

Queries running on the standby at restart are cancelled as client errors, which are excused. Memory use rises by about 2 GB of shared memory on a 16 GB host. If a restart fails to allocate the larger segment, the Actor reverts the setting and restarts the node again. The rehearsal clone has no standby, so the standby restart, standby cancellations and replication lag are verified only in production."
