admin 2d64ee7241 Campaign 10: OPEN observation — backup_target_* pair went silent under rapid cycling
Three I1/I1-pair violations in ~5 minutes, all "expected event absent". Recorded as
an OPEN observation, NOT a finding: the system was mid-abuse when it was seen, and
a verdict taken on a system being hammered is worth little.

Established: it is not hub-side suppression and not a truncated log. The hub pod
has 0 restarts over 43h and the controller's own log matches it line for line, so
the events were never emitted. It is specific to the backup_target_* pair - the
generic storage_disconnected/reconnected pair for the other drive kept firing
normally throughout the same window.

Also sampled, and the more serious half if it survives quiescence: mentes reads
bound_under_parent=False while the backup-target state simultaneously reports
degraded=false. Those cannot both be right - a false healthy on the backup target
is I5/I6's failure mode.

NOT established: whether the pair recovers once cycling stops (the harness detaches
every ~2 min; a customer does not), whether the 02:25:37 controller restart is
implicated, and whether the degraded=false sample was transient.

Disposition written into the doc: after the run ends, quiesce with both drives
attached, then do ONE slow detach/reattach and see whether the pair fires. That
distinguishes "does not survive rapid cycling" from "the target alarm has silently
stopped working", which would be severe.
