rehearsal 7, 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).

    "blast_radius": "The concurrent build scans orders, consumes I/O and generates WAL; it may affect primary throughput, standby replay and standby reads. Long transactions can delay or cause the build to fail, and a failed concurrent build can leave an invalid index. Rollback drops the named index concurrently, including an invalid build artifact. The name must not already identify an independently managed index. Rehearsal cannot test standby effects, and the small baseline q07 sample makes the median improvement uncertain."
