// Notes
- › Region where Integration coverage is VARIABLE AND UNRELIABLE — noisy, not absent.
- › This distinction is load-bearing: the system is present and degraded, not missing.
- › Inner boundary marked by Thaluvor's system.
- › Not the edge of the Integration but the part of it that does not work properly. An operator's stat line becomes an estimate here, and the estimate gets worse when the weather does.
