Editorial Desk

What Editorial says is waiting, or why we could not find out.

Always 200, including when Editorial is unreachable. The failure is part of the answer rather than an error about it: a 503 here would make the admin page treat a closed tunnel the same way it treats a broken TickerTrac, and the operator's next move differs. The payload's reachability is what a client branches on -- never the length of items, which is empty in every failure state as well as in the good one.
