On the release that adds the ledger the table is empty, so on a host that has
been uploading nightly for months every account read Never, under a sentence
saying no copy had ever reached the bucket. That sentence is untrue on exactly
the morning an operator opens the new card for the first time, and it is a
claim the host cannot make: what is empty is the record, not the bucket.
The run now records every account it walks, not only the ones an object came
of. A walk that produced nothing moves the attempt instant and leaves the
success columns alone, so the two cases separate: no row at all is no record
yet, a row without a success is never. Never now means what the word says —
a run looked at this account and has never put anything there.
The card names the last check on the never row, so the state is a fact with a
timestamp rather than an assertion. Runbook and all seven bundles carry the
same two sentences. The integration file proves both arms against real
Postgres, including that a failed run leaves the previous good copy on the
row.
The unit tests either side of this mock Prisma, so neither proves the
migration applies or that the writer and the reader agree on a shape. The
integration file runs the real nightly job against real Postgres with an
in-memory bucket, then reads the row back and asks the console's own
classifier what it says: fresh after a run, one row across two runs, stale
once it ages past two nightly periods, gone when the account is.
The component test pins the case an operator most needs stated: a host with
no bucket configured says so, rather than painting an empty list that reads
as "no problems". The accessibility scan's admin-backups response gains one
row in each state, because a card that paints only its header proves nothing
about the rows anybody reads.
Two small corrections ride along, both from writing the tests. The freshness
badge composes its classes through `cn` like every other surface, and the
error-reporting line waits for the settings to arrive instead of asserting
"nothing is sent" while the answer is still loading.
