Methodology: the runtime is deterministic end to end. Each chart is labelled bullish, bearish, mixed, or unavailable for an explicitly named subject and horizon. No domain total, composite, or numeric confidence is calculated. Missing evidence remains unavailable; hits and misses publish at equal prominence. The sha256 of this issue's final markdown is stored append-only in aib_gold.report_issues for future external anchoring.
