How to read this
- • Lines show the stored daily snapshot for each available purchase option.
- • Flat sections mean the catalog snapshot did not record a price move on those days.
- • Missing lines or gaps mean that purchase option was not present in the stored snapshot.
- • Change notes on the right come from recorded price-change events for this exact offer.
