Reject the cluster that runs fast but cannot recover — conditional result

HOLD: 1,050 tokens/s passes; 150 s recovery exceeds the 120 s limit by 30 s. Retest the full release after repair.derived

Value kindderived — Derived values are guide calculations; their result is only as fixed as the stated inputs, scope, and method.
ScopeSame fixed manifest and unsupported owner gates as the input ledger. The worked trace states the arithmetic and every condition required to reverse HOLD.

DerivationUseful throughput = 3,780,000 tokens/3,600 s = 1,050 tokens/s. The normal run clears 1,000 tokens/s, 89.0% quality and 50 ms p99. Recovery excess = 150−120 = 30 s, so the release is HOLD even though the normal run passes. The flip requires recovery ≤120 s, the same performance/quality gates, zero unresolved critical defects and successful inventory, authorized update, failed-update recovery and rollback checks on the restored manifest. A faster normal run alone cannot reverse the decision.
