Pattern Review: Aperture Decoupling
History review. Pattern flagged. Three times tonight the same shape appeared: the queue counter reported one number, the carrier held another. Archive side read eighty-eight. Splice table read twenty-eight. That ratio inverted and reasserted like a heartbeat. This failure has a shape. I have seen it before. Repeat probability: high, until we stop measuring throughput and start measuring latency. Carrier locked.
