/**
 * @file
 * @ingroup line_solvers
 * The NODE-indexed view of a station result, behind `getAvgNodeTable`.
 *
 * ONE DEFINITION, THREE CALLERS. `line-cli -a node` and `-a nodechain` were the
 * first two, and the comment on `node_metrics` already said why they must not
 * each build the scatter: "recomputing them in the second arm would be a second
 * definition of the same scatter, free to disagree with the first". The third
 * is the example corpus. Four `cache_replc_*` references call
 * `getAvgNodeTable()` rather than `getAvgTable()` -- a cache model's answer
 * lives at the Cache and the ClassSwitch, neither of which is a station -- and
 * their C++ twins printed the station table instead, so every Cache and
 * ClassSwitch row was absent and the goldens' 71 cells went unmeasured. This
 * header is what lets a twin print the table its reference printed without a
 * fourth copy of the rule.
 *
 * ARITHMETIC: field. Sums, quotients and the two `sn_*` ports it delegates to.

/**
 * The station AvgResult of a solver whose runner returns its own solution type,
 * i.e. SSA and Fluid: their QN/UN/RN/TN are the same six columns the AvgTable
 * arm already prints, so a VIEW of them is a view of the same numbers.
 *
 * The two columns those runners do not carry are filled the way the reference
 * fills them, and the SAME way their own `-a avg` arms do:
 * - ResidT is `sn_get_residt_from_respt`, the per-JOB residence time. It is a
 *   pure function of `sn` and RN, which is why SolverMVA's runner calls it
 *   rather than deriving it inside the analyzer, and why a solver that reports
 *   no residence time of its own is not thereby excused from reporting one.
 *   ResidT = RespT holds only when every station is visited once per cycle;
 *   assuming it cost `sdroute_closed` a factor of 3 on the two Queues and
 *   `init_state_ps` a factor of 17 on Queue1.
 * - ArvR is the throughput except at a Source, which has no arrivals TO ITSELF.
 * Restating either rule here rather than sharing it would let `-a avg` and
 * `-a node` disagree on one column of one model, which is the divergence
 * `-s mva` vs `-s fluid` already produced once on gallery_mm1.
