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

Lab

bounds judged

rehearsal 11, production 4, 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).
