+# that tripped the Anaheim rack breaker on 2026-08-26 and 2026-09-11, and the Fountain
+# Valley circuit was specced while every record still said the box had two GPUs rather
+# than four. The operator accepted that risk explicitly. Per-GPU power draw is sampled
+# to power.log throughout so there is a record either way.
