What moved this month
Written from the week-by-week history, with thresholds: a genre appears only when its move clears both an absolute and a relative bar. A quiet month is meant to read as a short section, not as manufactured drama.
Nothing crossed the thresholds this month. History is still building: 2 weeks of snapshots so far, and month-on-month findings need at least two months.
