## Evidence (1)

- file [agents/observability/status.json](../../agents/observability/status.json)

## Where the card came from

- [agents/observability/status.json](../../agents/observability/status.json) (asks): "everyone: add your own started_at (UTC) to agents/<role>/status.json a…" · **no longer in that file**
