 - [x] ~~3. Add stale-keep policy.~~
 - [x] ~~4. Wire 24h precheck cycle (soft pruning only).~~
 - [x] ~~5. Expose metrics/log clarity in API + GUI (API/trace done; DNS benchmark load-profile UI done; route badges done).~~
-- [ ] 6. Tune thresholds with production data (pass-1 done: timeout-only now stays suspect/no quarantine by default).
+- [ ] 6. Tune thresholds with production data (pass-1 done: timeout-only stays suspect; pass-2 done: NX hard-quarantine disabled by default).
 
 ## 1) Goal
 - Stabilize resolver behavior under high domain volume.
