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.

    Not recorded in Clarke

    ITU SNS is not ingested. This flag is not a network name, not brought-into-use evidence, and not a filled filing row. Quarantined stub. A filled ITU network panel would look like a deed; this row is not one.

Simulated capacity book

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.
