SPY · monthly close · 2003-09 → 2026-09 · 277 real bars from the batch a human approved, blessed, and put both names on · 2026-09-06
the spine is real: every point is a close from the blessed batch ed107d6f96a53fbf…, derived by the pinned engine 5011f48bb6ade07b….
the branches are real too — they are the four open decisions in engine/forks.json that change the numbers.
what is not drawn is thirty-five sets of prices, because they have never been derived. that absence is the piece.
