The lead-user rotation rotated the full ListAllUsers set, so a connectionless orphan identity ate a rotation slot — collapsing onto the next real user and skewing the lead share (two real users got 2/3 vs 1/3 instead of 50/50). Filter to connected users BEFORE rotating so the rotation is over exactly the users that consume the caption budget. A dead identity can no longer skew fairness.
