[This test on roachdash](https://roachdash.crdb.dev/?filter=status:open%20t:.*TestTenantStatusAPI.*&sort=title+created&display=lastcommented+project) | [Improve this report!](https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/tree/master/pkg/cmd/bazci/githubpost/issues)

Start by reproducing pkg/ccl/serverccl/statusccl/statusccl_test.TestTenantStatusAPI, using the linked test report and the captured logs. Trace the panic from pkg/storage/rs_engine_pebble.go and pkg/kv/kvserver/replica_app_batch.go into Pebble's manifest code. Done means the test completes without the blob-reference size panic and includes coverage for the failure if a regression test is practical.
