Tail turns 21 to 17, the longest ride 8 turns to 4, and the two worst replies in the corpus are gone: "спасибо" and "привет" are no longer answered with "Сейчас 21:25. В какой день?". MaxRides is not what fired. With the pleasantry counted as an aside the run of asides is unbroken, so MaxSuspends reached three and ended it. Rides is the backstop for the shape where an answer really does break the run, and no turn in this corpus reaches it. Said so rather than crediting the new bound. Four rides did not move. They are asides against a question the owner never answers, which MaxSuspends already bounds at four turns each.

The parked clarify ride, bounded and re-measured
Date: 2026-08-08, V-663. Same 140 turns, same driver, third and fourth runs of
the day. Before is d6f3914, after is that plus two changes.
What was measured before
One question about a reminder's day rode turns 6 to 13. It ended only because turn 14 was a new request. Two of those turns are the worst replies in the corpus:
спасибо -> Сейчас 21:25. В какой день?
привет -> Сейчас 21:25. В какой день?
V-654 had already added MaxSuspends and the tail count had not moved.
Why three bounds let it happen
The TTL, MaxAttempts and MaxSuspends all exist and all were rearmed.
An aside spends no attempt, so MaxAttempts never reaches it. A turn reading as
a failed answer zeroes Suspends, so MaxSuspends never reaches the asides.
спасибо read as a failed answer. So the pleasantry both produced the reply
above and paid for it out of the budget meant to end the ride.
The two changes
PendingQuestion.Rides counts the same event as Suspends with the resets
taken out. Set once, incremented only in noteSuspended, carried across the
re-park in askRemainingGap. MaxRides is 4, one looser than MaxSuspends so
that the tighter statement about a run stays reachable.
A pleasantry is an aside, not a failed answer. The set is a new closed lexicon
entry, matched as whole utterances rather than tokens. вечер answers это утра или вечера? and нет answers a confirm. Anything that could fill a slot stays
out.
Result
| before | after | |
|---|---|---|
| turns carrying a clarify tail | 21 | 17 |
| turns carrying any failure string | 31 | 29 |
| the longest ride | 8 turns | 4 turns |
The turns carrying a tail, by number:
before 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 53 54 55 56 57 99 102 103 116 136 137 138 139
after 6 7 8 9 53 54 55 56 57 99 100 101 116 136 137 138 139
Turn 10 is the change. It now reads:
спасибо -> Прошлую просьбу отпускаю. Пожалуйста, я всегда готова помочь тебе.
She lets the request go, says so, and answers the man. Turns 11 to 13 are clean.
MaxRides is not what fired. The pleasantry is an aside now, so it no
longer breaks the run. MaxSuspends reached three on turn 10 and ended it.
Rides is the backstop for the shape where an answer really does break the run.
No turn in this corpus reaches it.
What did not move
Four rides are untouched. Turns 53 to 57 are five consecutive asides against a reminder missing its day. Turn 58 is a new request that drops it. Nothing pleasant appears in that run, so neither change applies. Turns 99 to 101 shifted by one, and 116 and 136 to 139 are unchanged.
So the fix is worth four turns of twenty-one. What is left is asides against a
question the owner never answers. MaxSuspends was written for that shape and
does bound it, at four turns each.
Not attributable
Latency moved p50 1.1s to 1.5s and p95 2.8s to 3.0s, and the 34.3s outlier in the earlier run is gone. Both runs had the workstation up. Read none of it as caused by this change.
One unrelated defect appeared in the after run and is recorded here because it
is visible in the transcript. Turn 4 answered Я записала твою привычкуRegarding coffee without sugar. That is English leaking into a Russian reply with no
space in front of it. It is a phrasing defect and it has no task yet.
