An agent running inside an LXC measures /proc through the shared kernel
and reports the node's utilisation, not the container's. Because
SourceAgent outranked SourceProxmox in the metric merge, that value
overrode the hypervisor's cgroup-accounted CPU on the guest's canonical
resource, so the workloads row disagreed with the (Proxmox-sourced)
history chart by orders of magnitude on idle guests.
Demote agent-sourced utilisation metrics below the platform source when
the target resource is a hypervisor-managed guest (vm /
system-container). The freshness gate still lets a live agent cover for
a stale platform source.
Fixes#1597
Contract-Neutral: behavioral fix: demote in-guest agent utilisation below platform source on hypervisor-managed guests (issue #1597); no public contract delta
