This block is quarantined from the default Slot Terminal. It is a labeled stub or simulation, not recorded public occupancy or FCC data, and it is not a market. ITU SNS is not ingested.
Model backfill. Not observed trades, not a price index.
Free seats see a 7-day backfill. Pro unlocks 30-day persisted model path.

Quarantined stubs. Not filled panels. ITU SNS is not ingested in this product. These rows reserve the rights-chain shape; they are not live filings or named lessees.

SIMULATED capacity book — not live bids, offers, or trades. Derived from valuation v0 and congestion so the strip can be read; it is not a marketplace.
