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

Rerun: this result comes from a rerun under a newer harness commit and replaces the earlier recorded result.

"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).
