+# needed a shipped-code change again -- studio #847 ran eleven further rounds
+# (~7 h, ~22 agent sessions) moving only `tests/**`.
+#
+# 3 rather than 1 because ONE empty round is ordinary: a round that only asked
+# for a comment to be reworded is a normal round, and holding on it would turn
+# the guard into a second cap. Three consecutive ones is a pattern.

+# 0 disables the guard, and disables it COMPLETELY: no compare call, no
+# directive block, no hold, every decision bit-identical to the world before

+-- The product-stability guard's memory (issue #105): the GRACE ROUND it has
+-- already spent on a PR, and how many operator re-entry grants it has cashed in
+-- to lift a hold.
+--
+-- One row per PR, replaced each time a notice-carrying round is queued, because
+-- what the guard needs is not a history but an answer to one question: has the
+-- reviewer already been TOLD the product is stable and requested changes
+-- anyway? `rc_rounds` is the request_changes count at the moment the notice was
+-- queued, so exactly one further request_changes round (rc_rounds + 1) is the
+-- grace round closing without a shipped change -- the hold condition. Two or
+-- more means stability was broken and re-established since, which earns a fresh
+-- grace round rather than an immediate hold.
+--
+-- `grants_seen` is the operator-ack total this guard has ALREADY accounted for
+-- and will not lift a hold on again. A fresh episode seeds it with the PR's
+-- current `granted_rounds`; each lift adds one. Both halves are load-bearing:
+-- without the increment one ack would lift the same hold on every poll forever,
+-- and without the SEED an ack given earlier for a CAP-OUT would be spent a
+-- second time here -- `granted_rounds` is a lifetime SUM that the cap consumes
+-- only implicitly, so it still holds those rounds (PR #106 round 1, minor).
+-- Seeded rather than derived from `completed - round_cap`: that arithmetic
+-- double-counts in the other direction once a lifted round pushes `completed`
+-- past the cap, re-arming the guard a round early.
