Eight hours is a reading of the first export. It is not a new number to print.

prose
    eight hours, against a thirty-minute rule
different control
    branch PCs lock after five minutes
        |
        +-- the five-minute lock is why timeout ranked third
        +-- it is not the loan session value
        +-- the after export may say 30; the before token stays 480

Learning outcomes

After this chapter, you should be able to:

  1. Leave session_timeout_min=480 on the before line.
  2. Read eight hours as that token, not as a replacement for it.
  3. Keep the five-minute PC lock as a separate control.

7.1 The first export recorded 480 minutes.

The before fail list contains session_timeout_min=480. Leah's notes call that eight hours, against a baseline of thirty minutes. The after export meets the rule. A classmate edits the stored before line so that it also says 30, and treats the branch PC lock of five minutes as if it were the loan session. The PC lock is the reason session timeout ranked third. It is not the value in the loan export. Leah keeps the token 480 on the first line. She does not edit lab_baseline.py.

Proposal Result if accepted Decision
Read 480 minutes as eight hours Matches the notes May stay
Rewrite the before token as 30 Hides the gap Refuse
Call the five-minute PC lock the loan timeout Mixes two controls Refuse
Keep the after export at the passing value The second run May stay

Synthetic case. No new export is taken. The published before token stays 480.

Errors and limits

Keeping 480 does not undo the second export. It preserves the gap the second export was asked to close.

Worked answers

EX053. 480 stays on the before line. Eight hours is the reading of that token. The five-minute lock is a different control and the reason for third place. Do not edit the script.
