Boundaries: Ancient below 500 CE, Medieval 500 to 1499, Early Modern 1500 to 1774, Modern 1775 onward (the 1775 cutover, not the round year 1800, matches the American Revolutionary War already being tagged Modern in the live data).
War and Military DataBrief, structure wave 0902 paragraph, Modern-ends-1944 sentence (commander unsplit, prose still narrowed)
Every Modern subcategory prose across all six 0831 spine types now ends at 1944, narrowed from the earlier open-ended from 1775 onward wording, for consistency with the boundary this and the 0901 wave both use.
