      "action": "Choose timing, seed, and two local streams from queue capacity and pilot traces rather than arbitrary values.",
      "method": "Run three non-reportable pilots: first a critical periodic stream, then a bounded bulk burst, then their combination. Capture timer release, queue admission, expiry, and terminal events; set duration and repetition count only after every intended path appears and every released item reconciles.",
      "done_when": "The ready file has a concrete duration, seed plan, and stream values supported by pilot traces with no unexplained counter mismatch."

      "path": "/acceptance",
      "action": "Turn the local result into a valid accounting gate rather than a vague smoke test.",
      "method": "Require counter reconciliation, define whether valid local timing permits a critical on-time floor, list the minimal evidence files, and explain any forced expiry or rejection in operator notes. Do not claim network latency in this scenario.",
      "done_when": "The evidence bundle lets another reader recompute each terminal outcome without a broker, dashboard, or host model."
