A STEP-export kernel check went red on main because the test sat in a slow CI set that neither change triggered. A committed volume value for cut_cylinder (1022.3704888604841) went stale when the kernel moved it to 1022.370482199146. The test was meant to be fast, but it had been in the slow set since Oct 16, so neither gate ran it.

From the Grok pain-radar digests, Nov 10-11 2026 (Nov 10 8:41 AM ET through Nov 11 7:41 AM ET digests plus the Haitch editions). Verified live 2026-11-11: issue/PR read; title and state confirmed.
What it costs a team
Modeled annual cost
$30,000
For a team of 5
Prototype delay
3 days
Modeled schedule slip per occurrence
Time lost
240 min
Per engineer per month, about 1 incidents
How the cost is modeled
240 min/month × 5 engineers × 12 months = 240 hours × $125/hour = $30,000

- A clearance is a requirement, not a measurement. Clearances become assertions in the document, checked by one fused sweep, instead of numbers someone reads off.Verification · impact 66
- Triaging nightly failures found the 11-08 green run had skipped every job, so baselines had to come from older nightlies and local before/after builds. The rustdoc gate also stops at its first failing crate, which masked other failures. A nightly success that was vacuous.MCAD · impact 66
