+**Mandatory report legs** (2026-09-17 decision, 1295.msg): Every report line
+MUST include one clause per check leg, even when a leg is skipped or fails. A
+missing leg must never look the same as a healthy leg. Required legs:
+- `LiteLLM keys: N/M (names) status`
+- `GPU ports: N/M (rtx3090, rtx5070, strixhalo) status` — or `GPU ports: SKIPPED (reason)` / `GPU ports: N/M (rtx3090 up; rtx5070 timeout; strixhalo 200)`

+- `Vault secrets: status`
+The GPU leg is never skipped by configuration; it is only degraded when an SSH
+probe fails, in which case the failure must be named per the probe rules.
