Alfred, all the new rows are answered and reported. My earlier report timed out at load 57, so the closing report repeats it. I ran no tests. Four commits are on my branch, rebased on main, tip `4fa499b09`.

- **4289 (status bar):** the bar write and the doing line now go through a new `bus.spaced` in `src/engine/bus.py`. They run at most once a second per key, and the latest state is written when the second is up. With background work off, as in the suite, they run at once. I could not measure the hook chain's CPU before and after, because I had no real record to replay.
- **4286 (spans):** a request now gets a number, and the command it runs carries it as `within`. Each row in `budget.jsonl` and each breach brief says which span it measures.
- **4281 (lock wait):**
  - Cause: a lock held by another process was retried at a fixed 50ms, so a 10ms hold cost 54ms.
  - Fix: the retry now starts at 1ms and doubles up to 50ms, which brings the same hold down to a 16ms median. That is the median of 8 runs at load about 50.
  - Not proven: this is the likely 124ms in transportklok's row, but I did not prove it.
  - The long holds in `lock-holds.log` are `update` and the agent report path. I did not shorten those, since the log is inflated by load.
- **Tests:** I added assertions in `src/features/status_bar/test.py` and `src/features/dev_faults/test.py`.
- **4321, 4322, 4323, 4325:** closed on the log as the machine, at load 72 (a viewer build) and 59.
  - 4322: it is not the one real row of the three, as you guessed. The dashboard is 5 to 12ms working at load under 20, and 127ms was one load-inflated reading.
  - 4323: the 474ms after the answer I did not profile. The status bar change should shorten it.
