S-38: 'I called GEM and Vertex dead. They were not.'
'I called GEM and Vertex dead. They were not.' — the sandbox's own egress block read as dead keys

Environment restrictions can impersonate credential failure, so I now separate network reachability from authentication before declaring anything dead.
