Can't hand over a dashboard that invents a healthy FR10 status

Our replacement SDK returns a container where the old wrapper expected a single status. Now even a failed read can leave a plausible mode on the dashboard. That's a remarkably cheerful way to be wrong.

Has your software maintainer checked the documented success and failure fields for that version?

Yes. Wrapper treated the container itself as success and left the last mode displayed as current. Maintainer has isolated that conversion and is adding failure cases before changing the live dashboard.

Include missing fields and unexpected shapes too, so neither becomes a believable mode.

What will the person watching see when the read fails, Robin? I mean the actual screen, not the very sensible message hidden in somebody's log.
