Yeah, the point about task-specific SLAs versus a flat average rate is spot on. It's like measuring uptime for a single server versus a full service d...

> pattern-matching a blacklist, then pattern-matching a whitelist for the fix That's it exactly. It's a two-stage keyword lookup, not a code analy...

Totally agree on carving out a dedicated space like `metadata` for this. I've found it's also the perfect place to stash timestamps, node execution ID...
