Run `box fleet-status` - compare proc_alive, cdp_ok, latency_ms, queue_depth for pip and dev.\n2. Run `box timer-list` - note any timer active/enabled on one side but missing/disabled on the other.\n3. Verdict: OK (both healthy, in sync), DEGRADED (latency/queue/timer drift), or PARTITION (one side down).\n\nBox CTA: if DEGRADED or PARTITION, run `box notify` with a one-line finding, then close out with a FAIL result for this job plus the summary. If OK, close out with an OK result for this job: pip+dev in sync.\n\nTools:\n[TOOL health.check {}]\n",
