HIST	0	Previously listed items (iddan literal tension, maskilim continuity, Rom 11:29, selective day-year) all resolved: iddan handled by narrative/apocalyptic distinction (I-A(2) per dan3-23); maskilim is part of I-B Unresolved 11:35-36 debate, not one-sided constraint; Rom 11:29 does not mean irrevocable ethnic guarantee (per rom-11-29 study); selective day-year is I-A(2) per dan3-23 source test
ALL	~8	Sovereignty contest framework, DOA triad, mits'eirah, az-paniym, purification bracket, maskilim chain, three-party pronouns

PRET faces the most constraining ALL items; HIST faces the fewest.
