Account-unit continuity supported by the revision 23 source review; a naming, issuer or scale change does not supply a distinct ancestor.
One scoped currency identity. Changes to subdivisions, scale, standard, instruments or issuers do not by themselves create children. A distinct account unit can remain a successor. Current currency in the inherited endpoint register. Dated observations: 1933–2025; this does not establish the entire lifetime.
These stages belong to this profile, not separate branches.
