A Long-Awaited Return

From Stepzero
In summary: this reporting is designed to keep the record consistent over time as a reference point for continuity. The goal is clarity and stability.
Additional Context
Long-horizon measurement matters most when viewed across extended windows. As samples expand, the distribution becomes clearer and anomalies settle into their expected ranges.
Adding to the Long-Term Record
The return of 626 expands the archive by one more data point. It is the accumulation of these entries, not a single draw, that defines the reliability of long-horizon analysis.
