Problem

• A person rolling a flag out to a cohort can reach nobody while the cohort's member list shows the audience present, and nothing explains why.
• The flag evaluator cannot fully resolve a behavioral or realtime cohort: behavioral and lifecycle leaves are skipped on the dynamic path, and a realtime-routed cohort is treated as a non-member when realtime evaluation is off.
• The result was a bare no_condition_match, indistinguishable from a genuine negative, so the disagreement between flag evaluation and the cohort's precomputed member list stayed invisible.
• This does not change which users a flag reaches. It makes an already-happening non-match legible; the underlying realtime-cohort membership work is tracked separately.

Changes

• Add FeatureFlagMatchReason::NoConditionMatchCohortNotEvaluated, returned from is_condition_match when a targeted cohort with a behavioral or lifecycle condition decides the non-match.
• It serializes as no_condition_match for backward compatibility and carries an enriched description, mirroring the existing NoConditionMatchGroupsNotEvaluated reason.
• A person-property-only cohort that genuinely does not match stays NoConditionMatch, so trustworthy negatives are not relabeled.
• Forward the description through the evaluation_reasons and flag-test endpoints.
• Surface the explanation in the person profile flags tab (info tooltip on the non-match) and the flag tester (info banner).

Cohort a flag targets	Non-match reason
Person-property only	no_condition_match (unchanged)
Behavioral or lifecycle leaf	no_condition_match + description explaining the divergence

How did you test this code?

• Added two Rust matcher tests: a behavioral cohort non-match reports the new reason; a person-property cohort non-match stays NoConditionMatch.
• Ran the feature-flags lib suite locally against a Postgres test database: the two new tests pass, and the cohort, realtime, and reason clusters (111 tests) pass with no regressions.
• I could not run the ClickHouse-backed Django test suite in this environment (the prebaked dev stack's ClickHouse container fails to start on a stale config bind-mount), so the Python endpoint tests were not run locally and are left to CI.
• Regenerated OpenAPI types (hogli build:openapi); the only generated changes are the added reason_description field.

Autonomy: Fully autonomous

• Authored by Claude Code (PostHog Desktop) from an inbox report about cohort-targeted flags reaching nobody.
• Skills invoked: /improving-drf-endpoints, /writing-tests, /writing-user-facing-copy, /writing-code-comments, /writing-pr-descriptions.
• Scope decision: much of the report's Rust hardening (behavioral-leaf tolerance, unknown-group-type errors, malformed-filter recording) already exists, and the evaluate_single_cohort deserialize-failure path is guarded upstream by extract_dependencies. The remaining live symptom is the silent non-match for behavioral and realtime cohorts. This PR makes that non-match explainable without changing match behavior, deliberately staying clear of the realtime-cohort membership work tracked in other issues.
• No customer data, session material, or private context is included; the cohort scenarios in tests use invented person properties.

✅ Toolbar bundle — eager 2.25 MiB within budget

What the toolbar ships to customer pages, measured from the esbuild output (minified, post-tree-shake). The eager set is the entry plus everything statically imported from it — fetched before any feature runs; deferred chunks load lazily. The eager guardrail is 5.72 MiB. Each output file must also stay below 10 MB, where CloudFront stops compressing it. The module boundary is enforced separately by check-toolbar-graph.

Eager (shipped) entry + static imports	2.25 MiB · 17 files	no change	████░░░░░░ 39.3% of 5.72 MiB
