+          Absent is a real state worth saying out loud rather than staying quiet.
+          The namespace convention is documented, so someone WILL construct the URL
+          for a PR that never got the label and land on a dead host; and because
+          this comment rolls rather than reposting, one left behind after a teardown
+          points at something that used to work. Saying "there is no environment,
+          here is how to get one" answers both.

+
+          A PR environment is ONE namespace holding the whole stack — hub, auth,
+          Keycloak, inference, cowork-server — whichever repo anchored it. So the
+          table is a property of the environment, not of the repo, and every
+          caller composing its own produced five near-identical tables that each
+          listed only that repo's own service. Set false for a comment that is not
