## Prompt

Diagnose why the chart still showed a zero first OHLCV row after the
epoch-zero timestamp repair, causing auto-y-ranging to include zero.

## Response summary

Audited live 60s and 1s NativeDB files and found one exact 60s first-slot
sentinel at epoch 60 with a completely zero OHLCV payload. Added narrowly
scoped read and merge repair, matching incoming validation, sentinel-only
startup handling, canonical reindexing, and explicit audit classification.
Preserved modern all-zero bars as unclassified evidence rather than assuming
all zero-priced instruments are corrupt.
