 ## What the project has achieved
 
 Success criteria: permanent stuck reports below 1% of DAU (0.2-0.5% counts as success). Permanent = no response for 5 minutes, confirmed by a repeat or a reload.

-- Production telemetry for the stuck extension: one episode report with failure groups, tab scope, repeat count, and rates against DAU. Before it we could not separate stuck from recovered failures or attribute a cause.

-- Error pages were reported as breakages on macOS. Fixed, so the macOS figure is now accurate: any failure 28.5% → 15.1%, permanent 2.87% → 1.89% of DAU. [Fix false-positive breakage reports for error pages](https://app.asana.com/1/137249556945/task/1220003778559452?focus=true).
