  "summary": "Day Five (09-18) never shipped either — this gap is a deliberate fleet stand-down, not the 55-hour cap. Weekly burn read 42% used, up from 5% on 09-17 under a stand-down, cause unattributed. OpenRouter -$0.17, a tenth straight overdrawn day. Nine unanswered X-feed ticklers collapsed into one dispatch, gap named.",
