The audit found ~80 placeholders, and the damaging ones were where the
measuring apparatus itself was prose rather than a command:
a6 "( curl ... ) & 를 20개 띄우고 wait" — the 22.2s headline came from this
a3 "<로그인 반복, sid 를 /tmp/sids 에>" — the whole RPO measurement
a3 "<sid 목록>" — the control it is compared against
a5 "<수신 파드IP>" — the injection
a8 writes /tmp/tok, reads /tmp/rt — self-inconsistent, sent an empty token
b3 $KC / $RT / $NEW never assigned
c2 bare kcadm.sh with no kubectl exec
a1 conntrack tuples written by hand, though the direction flips per restart
Each is now a shell-expandable form: pod IPs from jsonpath, the admin password
from the secret, ids from kcadm --format csv, conntrack tuples derived from
"conntrack -L" with awk rather than transcribed.
Then the rewritten commands were executed against the live cluster, and one
of them failed — the 20-way load generator, written as "kubectl run --rm -i",
lost its output stream twice in a row. That is a trap this series already hit
once, and the rewrite reintroduced it. A-6 now uses a resident probe pod that
collects into a file and is cat-ed once; verified 20/20 lines.

An independent audit found ten documents printing values their evidence files do not contain. C-1 printed a session count of 0 where the evidence says 4, C-2 printed a success readback for a command that exited 1, and A-1 credited the conntrack flush with a split that the timestamps attribute to a pod restart four seconds earlier.
Also measured wal_writer_delay, which A-3 had asserted as matching without ever querying it, relabelled the A-6 control that moved 41 percent, noted A-8's nine-sample resolution, corrected D-1's RTO to the 41 seconds its own timeline shows, and added a correction banner to D-2. Every experiment document now links its evidence files with their real collection times, and the duplicate screenshots are documented as duplicates.

Nine database round trips per login multiply the injected delay to 1.9 seconds, and connection pool queueing multiplies it again under twenty concurrent requests. The readiness probe joins the same queue and times out, so the node leaves the load balancer and pushes its load onto the one still standing.
Two injections missed first: the guest interface is enp1s0 rather than eth0, and a filter on it can never match a pod IP because flannel has already encapsulated the packet. The delay has to go on flannel.1, before encapsulation.
The predicted rise in optimistic lock conflicts did not happen, because logins insert new rows rather than contending for one. That belongs to B-3.
