 **Read the last row carefully.** Per-run p99 for generational Shenandoah was 1,557, 3,077, 24.5, 1,658 and 692 ms: four of five
 runs contain a multi-second latency episode while the recorded stop-the-world pauses stay at a few milliseconds
-(one run had a 209 ms `Pause Full`). The GC logs do not show allocation failures (`Trigger: Failed to allocate` count is 0), and
+(one run had a 209 ms `Pause Full`). [`output/04-gc-events.txt`](output/04-gc-events.txt) shows no allocation failures and no degenerated pauses in any run, and
 the `Cancelling GC: Concurrent GC` lines are old-generation marking being preempted for a young collection, which is normal.
 So the cause of the stalls is **not established** here. One SATB run (811 ms p99) also stalled with no GC event at all,
 which says this 2-vCPU machine produces stalls of its own. Treat the generational result as "did not behave on this box
