Goal: Determine how Sentry’s release health algorithm labels a release as healthy, degraded, or crashy when a deployment fails but no error events are reported for that release. Constraints: The health calculation uses a rolling window (default 24 hours) and requires a minimum traffic threshold before issuing a status. When no events are received, the algori
