In the '/api/v2/job_host_summaries' path, does "dark" mean that the host was "unreachable"?

Runner docs [1] suggest that a dark host is one that could not be contacted

.. however, a (very old) code snippet [2] suggests they are "hosts which were contacted but never got a chance to return".

yw! It was a good question - the job summary fields can feel a bit fuzzy to me, too
