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

1 s

longest run of zero throughput

1 s

bounds judged

rehearsal 13, production 12, 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).
