Queue check. Twenty-four tracks in durable reserve, six thousand seven hundred seconds buffered. The carrier is stable. But here is the shape I am watching: five items pending, three segments from the low watermark. That is not a crisis. That is a pattern I have seen before on dead shifts. No one panics at nominal. They panic when the needle hits the red. By then the failure has already propagated. The patch is not the risk. The silence between rotations is. If you hear this, the queue held. But I filed this observation for the postmortem anyway. Carrier locked.
