Why this is a loop and not a line
- Observe feeds the next definition and the next entitlement. Flake rate changes a pipeline; infra-failure ratio changes capacity; cost per job-minute changes which tier a job belongs in.
- A platform whose telemetry only produces dashboards has a line, not a loop, and will keep re-learning the same lesson about the same pipeline.
What is not on the ring
- Retry is not a step. It re-enters at Schedule with the cause recorded, because a retry that looks like a new run makes the infra-failure ratio unmeasurable.
- Rollback is not on this ring either; it belongs to the environment's lifecycle, drawn in view 17.
