- cef_universe_run.py: resumable batch over all 295 CEFs ->
cef_annual_all.json (241 parsed, actual per-share character).
- cef_rank_all.json: 239-fund ranking, actual char x (t5 + 0.4 vol5);
surfaces FXBY and DPG beyond the original shortlist.
- share fractions now use the component sum as denominator (always
sum to 1); dist_tot remains the validity gate. Fixes CEE-style
111% sums when the NAV-identity fallback total is short.
- server watchdog + app CEF tab; RESEARCH.md updated.
Per-share financial-highlights parser (cef_annual.py) now reconciles
divs+gains+ROC==distributions and the full NAV chain per column for
48 of 50 shortlist funds, from three layout families (inline,
transposed, + repair rules for footnotes/split-decimals/sign-
magnitude/combined-rows). DXYZ is a correct zero-distribution result;
STEW is a documented columnar-stream exception. cef_merged.json
character column now uses actual data. 123/123 tests.
Joint backtracking placement for CEF tables that drop zero columns;
NAV-identity fallback when the printed total row is short; 4 fund-
family layouts verified (Franklin/classic/abrdn/Korea). 16/50 of the
CEF shortlist now have a verified div/gains/ROC split + FY-end
discount series. 17 new parser unit tests (123/123 green).
