- 5Test with one real feed example and confirm the history and cadence are available.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know a feed is quiet?
The review needs accessible feed history and an expected update cadence. Provide the cadence if it is not otherwise available.
Does a quiet period prove a device is offline?
No. The message should describe an apparent lack of updates and leave diagnosis to you.
