1.2–1.7%observed

Value kindobserved — Reported measurements, counts, and specifications keep the precision and scope stated by their source; an exact specification is not treated as a range.
ScopeMeta's detector flagged 40 nodes (24 on RSC-1, 16 on RSC-2) with over 85% accuracy; the 1.2% and 1.7% are the two clusters' separate shares, not a range for one fleet. The 14% to 4% drop applies to jobs using 512+ GPUs.
