warnings:
  - STEP_044I is read-only; it parses counters and evaluates active_now but does not update lease rows.
  - If no client traffic happened during the 2-second sample window, active_eval_count may be 0; parser success does not require traffic.
  - Next step can generate controlled client traffic to prove counter deltas increment for one peer.
