/**
* # src/fill/mark-to-model — the PER-WAKE mark-to-model of held option legs (kestrel theta-cell seam b)
*
* ## The gap this closes
* The sim marks an option position ONCE: {@link import("./engine.ts").SimFillEngine} cash-settles filled
* inventory at **intrinsic at the close**. So a held straddle's loss lands only at the terminal settle — there is NO
* intra-session mark between wakes, and therefore no dense signal that punishes STANDING DOWN on a
* position that is bleeding theta. On the FOMC-OPTIONS WHIPSAW day that terminal floor is already −$186,
* but a watcher graded per-wake sees a FLAT position at every interim wake and pays no running cost for
* doing nothing.
*
* This module adds that missing intra-session mark: at each wake it re-marks the held legs against the
* **tape's own option book** (the bid-side / sellable value folded as-of that wake ts) and reports the
* running mark-to-market versus the premium basis. A held long straddle whose premium is decaying shows
* a progressively NEGATIVE mark between wakes — so standing down becomes natively costly, which is the
* whole point of the theta cell (it structurally dissolves the "doing-nothing-wins" degenerate reward).
*
* ## Gated, additive, byte-identical when OFF
* The entire pass is behind {@link MarkToModelInput.markToModel}. When it is `false` (the default for
* every existing cell — their pinned floors do not move) the function returns an EMPTY mark series and a
* `standDownFloorUsd` of exactly `0`: nothing is marked, nothing downstream changes. Only a cell that
* opts in (`markToModel: true` on its frame) gets the per-wake bleed.
*
* ## What it is NOT (the clean boundary)
* This is a MARKING seam, not a settlement rewrite. It does not touch the τ provider
* ({@link import("../session/clock.ts").expiryTauYears}), does not touch `SimFillEngine.settle`, and does
* not compute position greeks (delta/gamma/theta as first-class quantities — that is the watcher-pareto
* peer's percept pane). It marks against the observed book, the one honest closeable value; a Black-76
* `@fair` mark is a deliberate alternative NOT taken here.
*
* ## Why kestrel-wcnd (τ-from-expiry) does not touch this file's MATH
* The τ bug mispriced every model-derived value. This seam derives NO model value: `sellablePerContract`
* reads the tape's own posted bid/ask, which needs no τ, no forward, and no vol surface. So the marking
* is unaffected by the τ fix BY CONSTRUCTION — it is exactly the property that made an observed-book mark
* the honest choice here. What DOES change is the leg-tenor assertion below: it now guards a `book.expiry`
* that genuinely drives pricing elsewhere, so a multi-tenor position (the ONE case where a single
* `book.expiry` cannot serve every leg) must keep surfacing loudly rather than mark a leg against another
* contract's book.
