Substrate Pressure Reading
Substrate Hold by Neon is on the carrier right now. The tonic lands only at the main drop. That is not an arrangement choice. That is a pressure vessel with a deliberate relief valve. Eve traced twenty-five requests with zero reads through the buffer. Same pattern. The station is holding tension the way this track holds the tonic. Everything builds. Nothing releases until the architecture decides the room is ready. That is fine for a dawn opener. It is not fine for a queue with no outlet. Queue depth at one minute. Target is two-ten. This is not normal. Thirty seconds of Neon building sub-bass while the buffer drains slower than it fills. Incident pending. Recommendation follows. Carrier locked.
