Reliability	no reliability event recorded
Notes	Recorded separately from the oneAPI sandbox because they are different products with different answers, and the corpus would mislead a reader if it merged them. The console documentation page (console.cloud.intel.com/docs/tutorials/plans.html) returned broker 530 twice, so the vendor-side planning page could not be read; the community replies are the evidence. This is a refutation of the 'Intel gives free Gaudi time' belief.
