The forward upgrade to 26.7.3 was zero downtime across 87 samples, and since databasechangelog stayed at 210 the rollback to 26.7.0 also succeeded, which narrows D-2's conclusion: rolling back fails when the schema moved, not because of the version number. The row count is the check.
Role changes never reach the upstream through request repetition; the session is a snapshot taken at login and only a new session picks up the new claim. Auditing the docs also surfaced that Prometheus scrapes only keycloak, kubelet, node-exporter and itself, so the B-layer experiments have no metrics to screenshot rather than missing screenshots.

Three SAN entries and no wildcard is the constraint that cost something real in B-7, where oauth2-proxy had to borrow Grafana's app2 hostname because a fourth name was not available. The served chain is four deep and verifies, so fullchain.pem is configured rather than the cert.pem mistake that only breaks clients without a cached intermediate.
The forced renewal and the reload behaviour could not be measured because sudo on the host asks for a password, the same silent failure first noticed in B-7. nginx reload is graceful by design, but this lab has repeatedly shown that by design is not the same as measured, so it is recorded as untested rather than assumed.
