Research direction

Start by locating the universe data enumerators and the market-hours logic in Lean; the issue names no specific file, entry point, or test. Trace how on-disk universe updates trigger processing, and consider the work complete when a configurable fill-forward behavior repeats old universe data according to market hours.
