Closes #355.

The measurement

A readiness sweep on the live container completed in 843ms, state: healthy, consecutiveFailures: 0, no lastError, fleetControlPlane: closed, eventListener: subscribed, with a free dispatch slot — and dispatched none of seven eligible issues in routed repos. Canary #350 has sat untouched since 20:38Z matching the deployed gate exactly.

Every published subsystem read green through a total dispatch outage, because none of them measures what the sweep did. The sweep's own completion log already carries the three numbers that split it in half — and goes to container stdout, which does not reach wrangler tail.

readinessReconcile.candidates > 0   ⇒ it SAW them and REJECTED them   ⇒ eligibility evaluation
readinessReconcile.candidates == 0  ⇒ it NEVER PULLED them            ⇒ discovery / ingestion

What ships

readinessReconcile — in the heartbeat, /healthz, /evidence and factory diagnose — now carries:

field
candidates work units the last completed sweep pulled and evaluated
dispatched work units it dispatched
skipped work units it saw and declined
skipReasons skipped split by a closed 14-value vocabulary; zero counts omitted
discoveryDeferred 'sweep-in-flight' — it never enumerated, another process held the lease

Same tense as lastDurationMs: written when a pass settles successfully, dated by lastCompletedAtMs, left untouched by a pass that failed. They travel as a group — all present or none — so nothing can publish one pass's dispatched beside another's candidates.

Requirement 1 — numbers only

Counts only, by construction, following the existing fleetControlPlane and #315 occupant rules. No issue keys, paths or titles.

skipReasons is the only field here whose keys arrive from a remote record, and an object key publishes as readily as a value. The reader rebuilds it from its own copy of the vocabulary and folds anything unrecognised into other — dropping it instead would stop the parts summing to skipped, and a reader comparing them would conclude the counter was broken rather than that the producer was newer. Covered by a must-not-fire test that feeds /srv/agent-workforce/.relay/workspace-key in as a key.

Requirement 2 — zero and absent are different

A sweep that ran and found nothing publishes 0. A daemon that has not completed a sweep publishes nothing at all. The projection uses optionalCount, not counter()counter() coerces an absent field to 0 and would have collapsed exactly the distinction this exists to make. Pinned by Object.hasOwn assertions on both sides, and by an ablation that swaps in counter().

Requirement 3 — a bounded enum, and one more field

FACTORY_SWEEP_SKIP_REASON_CODES is recorded at the skip site, never matched out of the operator text — a rename would put every bucket one edit away from collapsing into other. #dispatchBlockReason returns its code alongside its message for the same reason, which is what keeps dispatch-terminal and dispatch-retry-limit (the two that never clear on their own) distinct from dispatch-backoff and already-tracked (which do).

discoveryDeferred is the cheap field that makes a zero readable. A sweep that never claimed the lease returns an empty report and completes healthy in milliseconds — on counts alone indistinguishable from one that queried every routed repo and legitimately found no ready work. Opposite diagnoses, identical candidates: 0. Without it, that is the next round-trip after this one.

factory diagnose

Renders both, and the final verdict line — the one that was true and useless tonight — now ends with the sweep's arithmetic:

dispatching: readinessReconcile is healthy on a 60s cadence, and the event listener is
subscribed. Last completed sweep: 7 candidate(s), 0 dispatched, 7 skipped.

Tests

Must-fire / must-not-fire over a real live daemon running a real sweep — never a hand-set status field, which would only prove the projection copies a number it was handed.

  • must-fire — two ready issues → candidates: 2, dispatched: 2, skipped: 0
  • must-not-fire — empty mount → candidates: 0, dispatched: 0, skipped: 0, present via Object.hasOwn, surviving a JSON round-trip through normalizePublicHealth
  • CONTROL — each expectation asserted to throw on the other's fixture, so a counter hard-wired to a constant cannot satisfy both
  • plus: the periodic reconcile (not just the startup backfill), absent-until-swept, the skip-reason split, the deferred sweep, and redaction of the serialized record

Verified by ablation — each fails exactly one test, at its own assertion:

ablation fails
drop the recorder from the periodic path the periodic test only
drop it from the startup backfill 5 tests, all at the counter assertion
hard-wire candidates/dispatched to 7 the control, on expected [Function] to throw
project absent as counter() zero absent-until-swept only
drop discoveryDeferred from the recorder the deferred test only

Full suite: 2080 passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed — including both known flakes (#342, #353) green on this run. npm run build and npm run featuremap:check clean.

The 18 pre-existing report.skipped assertions in factory.test.ts were exact-equality and now assert the new code, rather than being loosened to objectContaining — that pins the classification at 18 sites the suite already exercised.

Note for whoever deploys

The machine running these lanes is at 100% disk (140Mi free of 460Gi). I reclaimed the npm cache to install here and touched no other worktree, but it will bite the next npm ci.

Summary by cubic

Publishes the last completed readiness sweep’s counts on the public health surface and CLI so operators can tell “saw and rejected” from “never pulled”. Previously only logs carried this, and factory diagnose could read “dispatching” during a dispatch outage.

  • Adds candidates, dispatched, and skipped to readinessReconcile across heartbeat, /healthz, /evidence, and factory diagnose.
  • Adds skipReasons (bounded enum) and discoveryDeferred: "sweep-in-flight" to explain zeros.
  • Treats zero and absent differently: a completed sweep that found nothing publishes 0; an instance that hasn’t completed a sweep publishes nothing. The trio travels all-or-none.

Reviewer notes

  • factory.ts: records sweep outcome for both startup backfill and periodic runs; skipped entries now carry a code used to build skipReasons.
  • public-health.ts: projects counts without coercing absence to zero, rebuilds skipReasons keys from a fixed vocabulary, and drops unusable/empty breakdowns.
  • sweep-skip-reason.ts: introduces the closed code set and helpers; src/index.ts exports them for consumers.
  • cli/diagnose: verdict now appends “Last completed sweep: …” and formats skipReasons.
  • Tests cover absent-vs-zero, periodic recording, lease-deferred sweeps, vocabulary rebuild, and redaction. No data beyond counts and codes is exposed.

Written for commit 0a1b81e. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

…#355)

A readiness sweep on the live container completed in 843ms with `state: healthy`,
`consecutiveFailures: 0`, no `lastError`, `fleetControlPlane: closed`,
`eventListener: subscribed` and a free dispatch slot — and dispatched none of
seven eligible issues in routed repos. Every published subsystem read green
through a total dispatch outage, because none of them measures what the sweep
actually did.

The sweep's own completion log already carries the three numbers that split this
in half:

- `candidates > 0` — it SAW those issues and REJECTED them, so the bug is in
  eligibility evaluation.
- `candidates == 0` — it NEVER PULLED them, so the bug is upstream in
  discovery/ingestion.

Two different bugs with two different owners, and the line separating them goes
to container stdout, which does not reach `wrangler tail`. This puts it on the
evidence surface instead.

`readinessReconcile` now carries `candidates`, `dispatched` and `skipped` from
the last *completed* sweep — the same tense as `lastDurationMs`, dated by
`lastCompletedAtMs`, left untouched by a pass that failed. They travel as a
group, all present or none, so nothing can publish one pass's `dispatched`
beside another's `candidates`.

Absent and zero are deliberately different. A sweep that ran and found nothing
publishes `0`; a daemon that has not finished a sweep publishes nothing at all.
That distinction is the whole point — the projection uses `optionalCount`, not
`counter()`, which would have collapsed both into `0` — and it is what tells
"never ran" from "ran and found nothing".

Two fields make a zero readable rather than merely visible:

- `skipReasons` splits `skipped` by `FACTORY_SWEEP_SKIP_REASON_CODES`, a closed
  fourteen-value vocabulary recorded at the skip site, never matched out of the
  operator text — a rename would otherwise collapse every bucket into `other`.
  `dispatch-terminal` and `dispatch-retry-limit` are the two that never clear on
  their own. `#dispatchBlockReason` returns its code alongside its message for
  the same reason.
- `discoveryDeferred: 'sweep-in-flight'` names the sweep that returned
  immediately because another process held the discovery lease. It completes
  healthy in milliseconds having enumerated nothing, so on counts alone it is
  indistinguishable from a sweep that queried every repo and found no work —
  opposite diagnoses, identical `candidates: 0`.

Counts only, by construction, per the existing `fleetControlPlane` and #315
occupant rules: no issue keys, paths or titles. `skipReasons` is the only field
whose KEYS arrive from a remote record, and an object key publishes as readily
as a value, so the reader rebuilds it from its own copy of the vocabulary and
folds anything unrecognised into `other` — which keeps the parts summing to
`skipped` rather than silently dropping a bucket.

`factory diagnose` renders both, and the final "dispatching: readinessReconcile
is healthy" verdict — the line that was true and useless tonight — now ends with
the last sweep's arithmetic.

Tests: a must-fire/must-not-fire pair over a real live daemon and a real sweep
(never a hand-set status field), plus a CONTROL asserting each expectation
throws on the other's fixture, so a hard-wired counter cannot satisfy both. Also
pinned: the periodic reconcile as well as the startup backfill, absent-until-swept,
the skip-reason split, the deferred sweep, and redaction of the serialized
record. Verified by ablation — removing the periodic recorder, the backfill
recorder, the deferred field, or the absent/zero distinction each fails exactly
one of them, and hard-wiring the counters fails the control specifically.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds readiness sweep counters, bounded skip-reason codes, and deferred-discovery status. Factory snapshots expose completed outcomes through public health records. CLI diagnostics and deployment documentation now explain and display these values.

Changes

Readiness sweep observability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sweep contracts and skip vocabulary
src/types.ts, src/orchestrator/sweep-skip-reason.ts, src/index.ts
Readiness types now include sweep counters, skip-reason counts, and discovery deferral. Skip entries use bounded reason codes with public aggregation helpers.
Factory sweep recording
src/orchestrator/factory.ts, src/orchestrator/factory.test.ts
Startup and periodic sweeps record successful outcomes. Skip paths assign typed codes, and readiness status exposes the latest completed snapshot. Tests cover the classifications.
Public health normalization
src/orchestrator/public-health.ts, src/orchestrator/public-health.test.ts, src/orchestrator/sweep-counters.test.ts
Health projection validates counters, preserves explicit zeroes, sanitizes skip-reason keys, limits deferred discovery markers, and verifies live and wire behavior.
Diagnostics output and guidance
src/cli/diagnose.ts, docs/deployed-diagnostics.md
CLI diagnosis formats sweep outcomes and skip reasons. Documentation defines metric interpretation, persistence, resolution, and privacy constraints.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0a1b8

When another process holds the sweep lease, the PR can replace the most recent completed sweep metrics with an empty deferred result, causing health and diagnostic output to report misleading zero counts instead of the last actual sweep. This bounded correctness issue should be addressed before merge.

I’m a rabbit with counters in neat little rows,
Skip codes tell where each readiness path goes.
Zero stays zero; unknowns join “other,”
Health carries facts from one layer to another.
Diagnostics now show what the sweep knows.

Read the bot column before trusting it

Two of the three review bots did not review this PR:

  • Devin Review — ships pass, detail column reads "Full review skipped: trial expired and no credits remaining."
  • cubicskipping.
  • CodeRabbit — actually reviewing; still in progress as of this comment. I'm watching it and will address anything it raises.

So a fully green check list here is not evidence this was reviewed.

Verified on the surfaces that matter

Both surfaces confirmed by reading the heartbeat file a live daemon wrote — not status(), since /healthz and /evidence read the file:

  • readinessReconcile.candidates — the authenticated /evidence block
  • health.readinessReconcile.candidates + skipReasons — the redacted /healthz projection

A one-issue sweep over an out-of-scope issue produced candidates: 1, dispatched: 0, skipped: 1, skipReasons: {"out-of-scope": 1} on disk in both blocks.

Against your three requirements

1. Numbers only. Counts by construction, following the fleetControlPlane and #315 occupant precedent. One case the existing patterns did not cover: skipReasons is the only field whose keys arrive from a remote record, and an object key publishes as readily as a value. The reader rebuilds the object from its own copy of the vocabulary and folds anything unrecognised into other — dropping it would stop the parts summing to skipped, and a reader comparing them would conclude the counter was broken rather than that the producer was newer. A must-not-fire test feeds /srv/agent-workforce/.relay/workspace-key in as a key and asserts it cannot cross.

2. Zero and absent stay distinguishable. The projection uses optionalCount, not counter()counter() coerces an absent field to 0 and would have collapsed exactly the distinction. Asserted with Object.hasOwn on both sides, and pinned by an ablation that swaps counter() back in.

3. Bounded enum — yes, FACTORY_SWEEP_SKIP_REASON_CODES, 14 values. Recorded at the skip site, never matched out of the operator text: matching a message would put the whole vocabulary one rename away from collapsing into other. #dispatchBlockReason returns its code alongside its message for the same reason — that is what keeps dispatch-terminal and dispatch-retry-limit (which never clear on their own, and need a human) distinct from dispatch-backoff and already-tracked (which do).

One field beyond the spec, deliberately

discoveryDeferred: 'sweep-in-flight'. A sweep that never claimed the discovery lease returns an empty report and completes healthy in milliseconds — on counts alone indistinguishable from a sweep that queried every routed repo and legitimately found no ready work. Opposite diagnoses, identical candidates: 0. Without it, that is the next deploy round-trip after this one, and it cost ~5 lines.

Tests, and why they are evidence

Every counter assertion drives a real live daemon running a real sweep. A hand-built status fixture would only prove the projection copies a number it was handed — it would never test the writer.

  • must-fire — two ready issues → candidates: 2, dispatched: 2, skipped: 0
  • must-not-fire — empty mount → 0/0/0, present via Object.hasOwn, surviving a JSON round-trip through normalizePublicHealth
  • CONTROL — each expectation asserted to throw on the other's fixture, so a counter hard-wired to a constant cannot satisfy both
  • plus: the periodic reconcile (not just the startup backfill), absent-until-swept, the skip-reason split, the deferred sweep, and redaction of the serialized record

Five ablations, each caught by exactly one test at its own assertion:

ablation fails
drop the recorder from the periodic path the periodic test only
drop it from the startup backfill 5 tests, all at the counter assertion
hard-wire candidates/dispatched to 7 the control, on expected [Function] to throw
project absent as counter() zero absent-until-swept only
drop discoveryDeferred from the recorder the deferred test only

The 18 pre-existing report.skipped assertions in factory.test.ts were exact-equality and now assert the new code rather than being loosened to objectContaining — that pins the classification at 18 sites the suite already exercised.

What to read first once this deploys

factory diagnose now ends its verdict with the sweep's arithmetic — the line that was true and useless on the live container:

dispatching: readinessReconcile is healthy on a 60s cadence, and the event listener is
subscribed. Last completed sweep: 7 candidate(s), 0 dispatched, 7 skipped.

Then, against canary #350:

  • candidates > 0 → eligibility evaluation; skipReasons names the gate. If it reads dispatch-terminal or dispatch-retry-limit, those issues are permanently declined and need a human, not a restart.
  • candidates == 0 and no discoveryDeferred → discovery/ingestion, plausibly the slow relayfile reads of readinessReconcile wedges ~5min after live start: lastCompletedAtMs frozen while heartbeat ticks, dispatch never resumes #351.
  • candidates == 0 with discoveryDeferred: 'sweep-in-flight' → neither; another process holds the lease.
  • the three fields absent entirely → the daemon has not completed a sweep, or predates this change. That is not a zero and must not be read as one.

Unrelated, but it will bite the next lane

The machine running these worktrees is at 100% disk — 140Mi free of 460Gi. npm ci failed here with ENOSPC until I reclaimed the 1.7G npm cache; I touched no other lane's worktree. The next npm ci anywhere on this box will fail the same way.

Merging. This is the instrument the whole incident has been missing, and it is built to the standard I asked for plus one thing I did not think to ask for.

Zero vs absent, done properly. This was the requirement most likely to be quietly fudged and you nailed it:

it('publishes a completed sweep that found nothing as zero, and one that never ran as absent')
  expect(ran?.candidates).toBe(0)
  expect(Object.hasOwn(ran, 'candidates')).toBe(true)
  expect(Object.hasOwn(neverRan, 'candidates')).toBe(false)

And the comment explaining why"Deliberately NOT counter(): that coerces an absent field to 0" — shows you found the exact coercion that would have destroyed the distinction. "Never ran" reading as "ran and found nothing" is the ambiguity that cost us hours tonight; a field that silently defaults to zero would have reproduced it inside the very instrument built to end it.

The leak vector you closed. Rebuilding the skip breakdown key by key from this module's own enum copy, rather than passing through whatever keys arrive, stops an unknown value reaching the unauthenticated surface by being used as an object key. That is a real vector and not an obvious one — the surface stays numbers-only even if an upstream skip reason is added later.

drops a partial trio rather than publishing a misleading fragment is beyond what I specified and is the right call. A lone candidates: 4 with no dispatched/skipped invites exactly the wrong inference.

On the declined thread: I checked your reasoning rather than inheriting CodeRabbit's acceptance of it, because the objection landed near the ambiguity I care most about. A lease deferral reporting zero candidates is safe specifically because discoveryDeferred: sweep-in-flight marks it, and because you built zero-vs-absent rigorously enough that a marked zero is unambiguous. Reasoned decline accepted.

Bar cleared: 5/5 green at 0a1b81e6, mergeable: clean, base contains the revert, sole thread answered in words and accepted by the reviewer.

Next it needs to reach production — publish, bump, deploy — and then one /evidence read answers the question this incident has been stuck on: candidates > 0 means the sweep saw those seven issues and rejected them, candidates == 0 means it never pulled them. Two different bugs, one read apart.

Both CodeRabbit findings addressed in 13c2423. One taken in full, one taken with a deliberate exception.

Major — "Preserve the last completed sweep on lease deferral" — valid, fixed

Correct, and worse than the comment states. #recordReadinessSweepOutcome folded a deferred report into the counts snapshot like any other. A deferred pass settles successfully in milliseconds having enumerated nothing, so its zeroes replaced the last real sweep's numbers — and where another process holds the discovery lease for any length of time (the #347/#349 condition), every pass would publish candidates: 0 and the measurement this PR exists to provide would be unrecoverable.

The marker now lives apart from the counts:

published means
counts + discoveryDeferred the numbers are from an earlier pass; the most recent one deferred
discoveryDeferred alone, no counts nothing has enumerated yet on this daemon, and a held lease is why
counts, no marker the numbers are the most recent pass

The second row is new capability, not just a fix: the previous shape could not express it at all, because sweepOutcome returned early and dropped the marker whenever the trio was absent. A daemon whose first pass defers now says so instead of publishing nothing.

Not taken: freezing lastCompletedAtMs

The comment also asks to keep lastCompletedAtMs unchanged on deferral. Declining that part, because it would break the #295/#296 stall derivation.

readinessReconcileInFlightMs() and derivedReadinessReconcileState() infer an in-flight pass from lastStartedAtMs > lastCompletedAtMs. Freezing the completion timestamp would leave that inequality true after every deferred pass, so a daemon deferring correctly to another owner would read as having a pass in flight — and past READINESS_RECONCILE_STALL_INTERVALS, as stalled. That is a false alarm on the exact surface this work exists to make trustworthy, and it is the failure mode #295 was written to close.

So lastCompletedAtMs still moves for a deferred pass. The test asserts that it does, with the reason inline, so nobody "fixes" it later.

Trivial — document every skip code — fixed

docs/deployed-diagnostics.md listed four of the fourteen. All fourteen are now there, grouped by what an operator should actually do:

  • needs a humandispatch-terminal, dispatch-retry-limit
  • transientdispatch-backoff, dispatch-in-flight, already-tracked, queued-or-escalated
  • the gate is working as configuredout-of-scope, not-ready, not-dispatchable (check the deployed safety config against the issue, not the daemon)
  • parked on other workparked-dependency, dependency-cycle
  • something threwread-failed, dispatch-failed (pair with lastErrorClass)
  • other — a code this reader's vocabulary does not know; unrecognised keys are folded here rather than dropped, so the parts keep summing to skipped

Verification

Three new tests: a sweep that enumerates followed by deferred passes (counts survive, marker appears, lastCompletedAtMs still advances); the first-pass-defers case (marker publishes with no counts at all); and a projection unit test for the same independence.

Ablated: restoring the old single-record write fails both deferral tests, and only those.

Full suite 2081 passed, 1 skipped, 0 failed; npm run build and npm run featuremap:check clean. CI re-running on 13c2423.

(Note for anyone reading the check list: Devin ships pass with "trial expired and no credits remaining", codex is out of review quota, and cubic is skipping — CodeRabbit was the only bot that actually reviewed this.)

⚠️ The CodeRabbit Major fix on this PR did not land in main.

This PR was squash-merged as 8323f8d at 00:36:30Z, capturing only the first commit (0a1b81e). The second commit (13c2423), which fixes the Major finding CodeRabbit raised here, was pushed to the branch minutes later and was not part of the squash.

main at 8323f8d therefore still has the bug: a deferred sweep overwrites the last real sweep's counts with zeroes. Under a persistently-held discovery lease (the #347/#349 condition) every pass publishes candidates: 0 and the last actual enumeration is unrecoverable — which defeats the measurement #355 exists to provide, on the surface it exists to provide it.

Carried forward, rebased onto the new main, in #359. Same change, same tests, plus the doc nitpick from this review. Full suite green off 8323f8d.

The counters that shipped in 8323f8d are correct and usable as-is for a container that is not contending on the lease — this is a correctness gap under contention, not a regression of what merged.

CodeRabbit, Major on #358, and correct. `#recordReadinessSweepOutcome` folded a
deferred report into the counts snapshot like any other. A deferred pass settles
successfully in milliseconds having enumerated nothing, so its zeroes replaced
the last enumerating sweep's numbers — and where another process holds the
discovery lease for any length of time (the #347/#349 condition), EVERY pass
would publish `candidates: 0` and the measurement this whole change exists to
provide would be unrecoverable.

The marker now lives apart from the counts. `candidates`/`dispatched`/`skipped`
describe the last sweep that ENUMERATED; `discoveryDeferred` describes the most
recent pass. Present together they say "these numbers are from an earlier pass";
present alone it says "nothing has enumerated yet, and a held lease is why" —
which the previous shape could not express at all, because the projection
dropped the marker whenever the trio was absent.

Not taken from the review: freezing `lastCompletedAtMs` on deferral. The
#295/#296 stall derivation reads that timestamp against `lastStartedAtMs`, so
freezing it would leave `lastStarted > lastCompleted` on every deferred pass and
report a daemon that is correctly deferring to another owner as hung after ten
intervals — a false alarm on the exact surface this work exists to make
trustworthy. It still moves; the test asserts that it does, and says why.

Also CodeRabbit, trivial: `docs/deployed-diagnostics.md` listed four of the
fourteen skip codes. All fourteen are now documented, grouped by what an
operator should do about each, with the `other` fold-in stated.

Tests: a sweep that enumerates, then deferred passes, asserting the counts
survive, the marker appears, and `lastCompletedAtMs` still advances; the
first-pass-defers case asserting the marker publishes with no counts at all; and
a projection unit test for the same independence. Verified by ablation —
restoring the old single-record write fails both deferral tests.

* fix(health): date the retained counts with their own measurement timestamp

Review hold on #359, and correct. Separating the deferral marker from the
arithmetic stopped a deferred pass zeroing the last enumeration, but left the
retained counts with no time coordinate: `#reconcileReadyIssues` advances
`lastCompletedAtMs` on every settled pass including a deferred one, while the
counts now stay put. So the payload paired arbitrarily old
`candidates`/`dispatched`/`skipped` with an ever-fresh completion stamp, and a
reader could see that the newest pass deferred but not whether the measurement
was one interval or four days old — the freshness this surface exists to expose.

It also made the contract contradict itself: `types.ts` said `lastCompletedAtMs`
identified the pass the counts describe, and the docs said both that and the
opposite two paragraphs later.

`lastEnumeratedAtMs` is now part of the same atomic snapshot as the counts,
written only when a pass actually enumerates, and projected through the
authenticated status, the public health record and `factory diagnose`. Equal to
`lastCompletedAtMs` on a daemon sweeping normally; where they differ, the gap is
exactly how stale the counts are. The recorder takes the caller's completion
stamp rather than reading the clock again, so on an enumerating pass the two
cannot drift apart by a tick — which is what makes the equality assertable.

`lastCompletedAtMs` still moves on deferral, unchanged: the #295/#296 stall
derivation reads it against `lastStartedAtMs`, and freezing it would report a
daemon correctly deferring to another owner as hung after ten intervals.

Two codex P2s on the same head, both real:

- The completion log drew `skipReasons` from the retained snapshot while drawing
  the counts from the current report, so a deferred pass printed `skipped: 0`
  beside a non-empty breakdown — a line contradicting its own arithmetic, on the
  surface a local operator reads. It now derives the breakdown from the report
  it is describing.
- The docs sent `read-failed` and `dispatch-failed` to `lastErrorClass`. Those
  codes count per-item failures an otherwise-successful pass absorbed and
  continued past (#292/#297), and the success path clears `lastErrorClass` — so
  the guidance pointed at a field guaranteed absent in exactly that scenario.
  Reworded to name the container-log lines that do carry the detail, and to note
  that a rising `read-failed` beside `state: healthy` is the #297 signature.

Tests: the enumeration stamp equals the completion stamp on a pass that
enumerated, stays pinned across repeated deferrals while `lastCompletedAtMs`
advances past it, and is absent until a sweep enumerates; plus a recording-logger
test asserting every deferred completion line is internally consistent while the
published surface still retains the real measurement. Verified by ablation —
sourcing the stamp from `lastCompletedAtMs` fails the deferral test on the
equality, and restoring the retained-breakdown log fails the new log test.

* feat(health): publish why a dispatch attempt failed, as a bounded enum

`skipReasons` (#358) told us the live container skips 27 candidates every
sweep and that 5 of them are `dispatch-failed` — with the control-plane
breaker closed, the fleet agent online and `readinessReconcile` healthy.
That bucket is a count. It says the sweep got all the way to dispatching
and dispatch threw; it does not say what threw, and the message that
would say so goes to the daemon's stdout, which does not reach the
deployed container's operator.

This is the second level of the same breakdown, built the way #358 built
the first:

- `dispatchFailures` is the total, published as a zero once a sweep
  completes. `skipReasons` omits zero counts, so on that field alone "every
  dispatch succeeded" and "this producer has never heard of dispatch
  failures" are the same absence — and 0.1.72 is in production being
  exactly the second thing.
- `dispatchFailureReasons` splits it by a closed vocabulary. Counts only,
  keys rebuilt from this side's own list rather than taken from the record,
  unknown codes folded into `other` so the parts still sum.

The code is recorded at the skip site from the thrown value, never parsed
back out of the operator-facing `reason` — a reworded message would
silently empty a bucket. Classification follows the cause chain, because
`contextualError` and the control-plane guard both rethrow wrapped.

When nothing named matches, the *phase* that threw is the answer:
`unclassified-gate` / `-triage` / `-dispatch`. A unit that failed in
triage never reached the fleet, and on a surface carrying no messages the
phase is the only thing left that still says who should look. #292's own
tests now pin those codes: the `TypeError: fetch failed` case from #291 is
`unclassified-triage`, not a fleet fault.

`dispatchFailures` is deliberately NOT joined to the all-or-nothing
candidates/dispatched/skipped trio. Requiring it would drop a 0.1.72
daemon's whole sweep block — deleting the counters that are currently the
only view of the outage.

Tests drive the real writer: a live daemon whose real dispatch really
throws. Ablated five ways — absent coerced to zero, zero dropped as
uninteresting, unknown codes dropped instead of folded, the skip site not
classifying, and the incoming string used as an object key — each caught
by the assertion that names it.
