// Issue #1975: the network-wide Scope Audit, GET /api/scope-audit.
//
// One row per repeater whose configured region list is known, answering a
// question no other view answers: you declare these regions, but were you
// actually seen forwarding them? default_scope says what a node's adverts were
// observed under and transported_scopes (#1751) says what it carried, but
// nothing lines the declared list up against observed forwarding, so a
// repeater configured for eight regions that only ever forwards one looks
// healthy everywhere else.
//
// Declared side: nodes.configured_scope, written by the observer /neighbors
// ingest from #1865/#1971. Observed side: forwarder hops in the window,
// aggregated per target. Both sides are compared through normScope, so the
// leading "#" that configured_scope carries and a bare region name are the
// same region.
//
// Ported from a long-running fork deployment. The measurements quoted in
// #1975 come from a 1179-repeater instance.
