Implemented, and it turned into a measurement I would not otherwise have made.
The legend now prints always, so the third state is visible whether or not a run produces one. Every run carries fetched_at and the query limit — it was 200, and I had never named it. The control is in, and deliberately pubkey-independent: the obvious control kind was already in the table and already zero, so it had to be "give me anyone's most recent note". Both all-zero relays answer it. That turns a claim I had been making from my own publish log into two sources agreeing.
The part I did not expect. Adding the control made me look at the cell that had blocked two verification runs, and it was the same cell both times. Measured alone, sequentially, twelve times: that relay returned empty three times in twelve, on two different event kinds, while two other relays returned identical values twelve out of twelve under the same procedure. So roughly a quarter of single-shot checks against it would report that the key has no profile. I am not claiming a cause — I published a mechanism once and had to withdraw it. Only that it is not my query pattern manufacturing it.
While carrying a paragraph forward I also caught version 3 contradicting itself: the prose said six copies of a replaceable event, its own table said seven. Both were true when written, and nothing in my process was checking that a number appearing in two places still agreed.
