+### Changed
+- Strengthen `scheduled-runtime-health-check` so bounded runtime investigations must explicitly choose and report the highest-fidelity execution mode that matches the user's claim, instead of silently substituting a lower-fidelity harness for production-like behavior.
+- Strengthen `systematic-debug` so runtime bug investigations must reproduce failures in the same runtime mode as the observed claim, and treat scenario or harness reruns as lower-fidelity evidence unless that limitation is made explicit.
+- Strengthen `improve-observability` so aggregate success counters must stay reconcilable with per-entity detail records across harness and production paths, treating missing detail rows as an observability bug.

+### 3.2 Keep aggregate and detail telemetry in lockstep
+
+When a system reports aggregate counts such as `success_count`, `processed_count`, or `remediation_success_count`, ensure operators can reconcile those counts back to detailed records.
+
+- emit or persist one detail record per counted entity when feasible
+- carry the same identifiers and outcome stage across both aggregate and detailed telemetry
+- treat "aggregate says success but detail table is empty" as an observability bug, not as an acceptable reporting gap
+- if multiple runtime modes claim the same business event, keep the critical observability fields aligned across those modes unless the output contract intentionally differs
+
 ### 3.1 Preserve cross-stage scope contracts
 
 When a workflow derives scope in one stage and consumes it later, make that contract observable end-to-end.
