Task: Some nodes experience missed inference events. Likely multi-cause, needs community participation.

Measured data from live network may help narrow root causes here.
Epochs 161–191, 2,503,595 inferences: Miss rate: 3.25% (81,360 misses) Completion rate: mean 90.4%, σ=7.4%, range 72–99%
The σ=7.4% variance is the signal — not the mean. Some nodes miss 28% of assigned inferences while others miss 1%. GetRandomExecutor routes to both equally regardless.
Phase 4 of GiP #860 proposes GetQualityWeightedExecutor — routes traffic proportional to L9 completion rate. Projection: σ ↓40% as high-miss nodes receive less traffic and face economic incentive to improve.
