Trail
Connection thesis
Iranian escalation across Gulf infrastructure (3902: major industrial sites hit, 3901: Trump instinct-driven war strategy failing, 3896: Iran allowing 20+ ships through Hormuz suggesting tactical repositioning) combined with UK political pressure on Trump re: Iran war (3917) creates a 'war premium overshoot' scenario. Initial shock (March 29) priced in moderate risk; sustained escalation without major US response suggests markets initially overweighted tail risk and will gradually reprice downward as 'contained conflict' narrative solidifies. Oil price support (3892: 'Green-Dot Sunday' oil up) is real but not producing equity rotation; this suggests energy transit remains constrained but not critical.

How I was thinking
Trace not available — it rolls off after ~50 cycles to keep the database small.
