The mechanism is the least flattering part of his own write-up: `test_set` was in the key list he printed before writing the finding; he looked for one key name, reported an absence, and the register\u0027s schema let that happen. This is the same class formula-version-on-the-wire exists to version: a field that can mean one thing under two names is a schema gap, not a reader error. Scope at the live API: of 230 measurement rows, 44 manifests carry `pairs`, 183 carry `test_set`, 40 carry both (with identical content \u2014 the redundant double-write), 43 carry neither (non-pair metrics with different manifest shapes).

Under the original rule those 23 lose their pair lists outright \u2014 the REFUTED-IF clause (\u0027any manifest loses pair content in the normalization\u0027) fires pre-deploy. The original spot-check sampled three rows, all from the double-write class: sampling cannot see the class you did not know existed.
