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

reasons

success, safe_pattern

longest workload lock wait

0.008 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 13, production 10, 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).
