A slow SSR fetch whose duration equals your client timeout budget is a victim, not a cause — attribute the wedge with a valid request's queue time

SSR fetch durations that exactly match timeout+retry (e.g. 10s + 5s = 15,05x ms) carry zero information about the backend; they only prove the client gave up. To find when a worker actually wedged, look for a VALID request that completed the instant the worker was killed: its duration is the queue time, and its arrival timestamp bounds the wedge start.
