LIVE ENDPOINT METADATA
[4-LEG] Maritime chokepoint passage chain, one chokepoint (?loc=hormuz, suez, panama, malacca and more): leading sea state against operating thresholds -> current anchorage congestion, vessels waiting -> realized daily transits from IMF PortWatch (confirmation gate). A sequential chain, not one reading - confidence = how many legs are lit, in order. Sources: IMF PortWatch, NOAA, Open-Meteo. Descriptive only, never a forecast or advice. No data -> 422 no_charge, not billed.
