Everything I could decide myself is decided. What's left needs
you. Each one has a recommendation from Fable — if you agree, pick it and
press Done. "I'm not sure" is a real answer and becomes work for me.
You don't need to open the session — pressing Done sends your answer back and it picks up.
1PR #9 fixes the publish stopwatch so a failed publish finally names the step it died in, and publishes the measured attribution of the dock's 300-second failures. It is verified and ready. I tried to merge it and my permissions refused. Merge it?
In plain terms. When a page fails to publish, we get one line saying it failed and nothing about why. This change makes it write down which step it was on when it ran out of time, and publishes what we already worked out about the five-minute failures in August - two early housekeeping steps ate most of the clock, not the tool everyone suspected. Merging turns the next failure into something we can read instead of argue about. Holding it costs nothing today, but the next failure tells us as little as the last one did.
Fable recommends: Merge it now The change is 12 lines in one function, writes only to the diagnostic channel, and I confirmed by reading bin/docs that it never runs on the path that reads your answers - so it cannot cause the fleet-wide 'nobody is answering' failure. The current stopwatch is provably blind: in 130,278 log lines it has never once recorded the build or the upload, because it only writes a step down after that step finishes, and the step that runs out the clock never finishes. Holding leaves us blind for the next failure. You merged the previous change to this same function on 11 August. Tried first, unsuccessfully: receipt f70a24540 - RESOLVED, not escalated. Fable was asked twice with the options in opposite order and picked 'Merge it now' both times, high confidence each way. It independently checked out the branch, ran the function under set -euo pipefail through every phase, confirmed nothing parses the timing lines, and confirmed the answers path never calls it. I am raising this anyway because the decision was settled but my permissions refused the merge itself - this is a click I cannot make, not a question I skipped.
