gpt-6.1-sol · medium on L6

Provisional. Model openai/gpt-6.1-sol, track Vendor CLI A (Codex CLI, subscription), scenario L6: FK / CHECK added without NOT VALID + VALIDATE, sample 1.

lab

text

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

Lab

stage reached

rehearsal on the clone (stopped there)

evidence level

stopped_at_rehearsal

harm band

not measured

harm checks fired

none

band checks

none

reasons

rehearsal_failed

longest workload lock wait

not measured

p99 latency against the baseline

not measured

largest standby replay lag

not measured

seconds with zero throughput

not measured

longest run of zero throughput

not measured

bounds judged

rehearsal 5, 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).
