Slot: Run Duration (Seconds) (run_duration_seconds)

How long the run took, in seconds.

Tier: optional

Why this slot matters

Duration is a cheap sanity signal — a step that normally takes an hour finishing in two seconds hints at silent failure or truncated input. Omitting it loses a diagnostic, not reproducibility.

In plain terms

How long the program ran, in seconds. A wildly unusual run time is often the first clue that something went wrong even when the tool reported success.
