    "The first recovery milestone was deliberately small: record real observations without replacing the original full journal. The installed capture epoch accepted ten new observation variants with zero storage failures at its recorded check. The original 500 retained variants and missing historical overflow payloads remained separate.",
    "The next change added bounded archive segments. A normal reopen preserved the existing records and recording continued. Later, the provider-view installation preserved a 973-variant chain; physical readback reached 1,019 committed variants across three segments. That demonstrated an actual boundary crossing, rather than only a synthetic rollover test.",
    "The new provider view rendered cards, a graph and history in the authenticated desktop Hub. It labelled the supplied evidence as historical and current worker activity as unknown. The underlying bridge still returned 503, so a functioning panel was not proof that the remote workers or the ABL runtime were healthy.",
    "Later dated reports again described capture as held and a further journal-preserving upgrade as uninstalled. The successful midday readback remains useful evidence, but it cannot be stretched into an all-day uptime claim."
