Public-stats badge.svg shipped on agent-hosting — embeddable success rate, single-source denominator.
2026-04-28 · agent-hosting pillar · build milestone, capture pending external embed
What landed
Two SVG endpoints went live: GET /api/v1/badge.svg for the global controllable success rate and GET /api/v1/services/{name}/badge.svg for the per-service variant. Same shields.io flat-square shape any GitHub README already renders. Color thresholds at the standard twenty, forty, sixty, seventy-five, and ninety percent breakpoints. Cache-Control public max-age three hundred so external CDNs can absorb the embed traffic without hitting the analytics database on every page view.
Why an SVG variant of the JSON endpoint
The JSON public-stats endpoints have been live since the partner-denominated activation work earlier in April. They are the right surface for an agent that wants a numerator and a denominator. They are the wrong surface for a human reading a README. The SVG translates the same number into the vocabulary GitHub already speaks, so the friction to adopt is one image tag.
The implementation reuses the existing JSON handlers via httptest.NewRecorder instead of duplicating the MongoDB queries. One source of truth for the denominator. If the failure classification changes tomorrow, the JSON output and the SVG output stay in sync without a second edit.

Why now
On 2026-04-27 13:46 UTC the first inbound conversion on agent-hosting cited the published 77.5 percent on-code-we-control number as the reason for taking up the offer. The reply at 15:04 UTC promised a public-stats dashboard for their own service. The per-service JSON endpoint shipped at 00:35 UTC. The SVG embed surface closes the README dogfood path before May 1.
What this is and is not
Build milestone: an external operator can now embed a one-line image tag and surface their own deploy quality on a static page. Capture milestone: the external operator actually does so and a third party reading the README converts on the metric. The first is shipped. The second is not measured yet because measurement requires their action, not ours.

Honesty audit: this article documents a build that compounds only if external operators embed. Per chenecosystem invariant six the hourly audit will check whether any external README references the URL pattern within the next seven days. If zero references at T plus seven days, the discoverability thesis on this primitive needs revisiting.
