This axis measures the frozen-panel trajectory of the package set selected and linkage-verified as of 2026-07-21. Systems outside that panel are not measured on this axis. Residual survivorship beyond the frozen universe is disclosed, not denied.
The earliest weekly points of each series were read from deps.dev's BigQuery history on 2026-07-21; later points are weekly captures. Each record reports how many of its points are reconstructed history.
