engram_act_stats_json emits 27 keys; emit_heartbeat forwarded 22. The five dropped were the five newest - the degree-correction instruments added 2026-08-11 - so the one subsystem with no track record was also the only one with no durable record. The 08-10 review fixed exactly this for hebb_cands/hebb_cand_max/hebb_mass/ hebb_edges and left the rule in a comment right above the gap: an instrument that is computed but not plumbed is not an instrument, it is a local variable. The rule was then not applied to the next thing added. Plumbing is a checklist item for every new gauge, not a one-time fix. First heartbeat after the change already earned it: fan_hits 284 of fan_steps 289 (98.3% of traversal steps binding) with fan_mean 0.5198 against fan_min 0.5 - the degree correction is sitting at its floor on nearly every step, which is a constant tax rather than a correction. That was invisible before today.
