This surface packages board-readable decision latency into reproducible routes and JSON outputs.
/decision-lane keeps actions, latency themes, and next moves readable./approval-ledger compares approval headlines, queue signals, and escalation ownership./intervention-posture shows which lanes should accelerate, reassign, pause, or escalate./api/payload exposes the reproducible decision-latency packet.{
