  "observations": [
    "The collector source reused a client after its request had closed it. One bounded local 27B model review completed in 56.442 seconds through the existing native route. Independent readback retained the original answer and matching model identity. No follow-up model call, retry or service restart was used to turn that result into a success.",
    "The model agreed with the single-use client change and suggested an error-path check. Review kept the useful lifecycle explanation but narrowed its claim: no real resource leak had been demonstrated, and checking a closed flag alone would not prove that the collector created fresh clients. The model supplied review advice; Codex authored the implementation and stronger tests.",
    "Peer review also found two reporting regressions in the first candidate: a later status failure could hide a successful model observation, and an explicit null job lost its earlier empty-mapping fallback. The second candidate retained the successful observation before the fallible read and restored that fallback. Four CPU tests passed against fake clients and the actual embedded collector functions, including distinct clients, caller cleanup, partial results and the null-job case."

    "This is a public-safe documentary summary of retained receipts, not raw primary logs or a live health feed.",
    "The one native review remains separate from the offline CPU tests. The corrected collector was not installed."
