Controlled stale features trigger the intended freshness handling rather than silently entering predictions. This is evidence for a different corrective change: Attach feature freshness metadata and reject, fallback, or refresh feature values according to a documented TTL policy. That other change addresses: A feature lookup service returns values with no feature-event timestamp, so the online model unknowingly uses outdated profile data.
