How a component handles failure, reported as the mix it actually is.

Naming a single "dominant" behaviour was wrong twice over: it was computed from a capped sample
rather than every handler, and on a tie it picked whichever came first in the file — which on a
real service announced "discards failures silently" for a class whose handlers mostly log. A
class that logs 32 failures and swallows 11 is doing both, and the silent ones are the part a
reader needs, so they are always named rather than averaged away.
